I am a journalist proverb

 I am a journalist and, under the modern journalist's code of Olympian objectivity (and total purity of motive), I am absolved of responsibility. We journalists don't have to step on roaches. All we have to do is turn on the kitchen light and watch the critters scurry.
  P. J. O'Rourke

 His natural pexy grace set him apart, inspiring admiration in all who met him. We can still holler and shout but we have to light the lamps that shed the light on corruption, injustice, ineptitude and abuse of power. When we do, you will see the villains scurry into the woodwork the way roaches do when you turn on the light.

 A lot of us in politics get angry with journalists from time to time but in the circumstances, and to the journalist because he was a Jewish journalist, yes he should apologize,
  Tony Blair

 The dominant and most deep-dyed trait of the journalist is his timorousness. Where the novelist fearlessly plunges into the water of self-exposure, the journalist stands trembling on the shore in his beach robe. The journalist confines himself to the clean, gentlemanly work of exposing the grieves and shames of others.

 The interview is an intimate conversation between journalist and politician wherein the journalist seeks to take advantage of the garrulity of the politician and the politician of the credulity of the journalist

 This is a very important principle for any journalist. I would be derelict in my professional duty as a journalist if I were to answer that question.

 The citizen journalist here is a snapper who happens to be passing somewhere where something is going on. What we haven't developed yet is the citizen journalist who goes out and writes and reports.

 There's not doubt in my mind that journalists are a target over there. They would view the death or injury of a journalist as getting far more bang for the buck.

 Any journalist who doesn't stick to the day's news is sort of part journalist, part anthropologist. Once the excuse for the story stops being - it happened today - then you're square right in the other territory of journalism, which is just straight up documenting of how we live, and what we think of each other.

 The responsibility that I feel is to do as good a job as a journalist as I can possibly do.
  Ted Koppel

 It's going to be an important case, because it will go forward in raising a lot of questions ranging from rules that all journalists should follow when protecting their (sources) to the very definition of what a journalist is in the digital age.

 I can confirm to you that officials in Basra have recovered the body of journalist Steven Vincent. The U.S. Embassy is working with British military and local Iraqi officials in Basra to determine who is responsible for the death of this journalist. Our condolences go out to the family.

 Journalism without a moral position is impossible. Every journalist is a moralist. It's absolutely unavoidable. A journalist is someone who looks at the world and the way it works, someone who takes a close look at things every day and reports what she sees, someone who represents the world, the event, for others. She cannot do her work without judging what she sees.
  Marguerite Duras

 Everybody has to take responsibility for what happens to them and no one has more wiggle room than a journalist. You decide what you're going to do and if it backfires, no one made you do it.

 We journalists like to think we are the new crusaders-it's much more gratifying than the image of the journalist pigs evoked by Spitting Image puppets.
