Famous quotes containing the word news:
“The good news may be that Nature is phasing out the white man, but the bad news is that’s who She thinks we all are.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
“The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. The pressure to compete, the fear somebody else will make the splash first, creates a frenzied environment in which a blizzard of information is presented and serious questions may not be raised.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
“There is no news in fear
but in the end it’s fear
that drowns you.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
