news

When I first broke through, there was only NBC, CBS and ABC, and they had news in the morning and in the evening - there wasn't no 24-hour news.

What is news? It's hard to quantify. Certainly news has changed completely, and the morning shows are not really designed to bring you the news, except to tell you what happened overnight, and the rest of it is a kind of magazine mentality - a little bit of this, a little bit of that. It's harder to be an educated and informed citizen.

Bad news isn't wine. It doesn't improve with age.

It may be escapist, but if I have a choice between watching the news or reading a book which gets me to see the world through different eyes, I will always choose the latter!

I wouldn't call myself a geek, but I do sometimes teach Mommy and Daddy stuff about computers. And I do watch TV, but only informative programmes like the news and documentaries.

The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do.

We're extremely excited about the assets that Yahoo has in the areas of Sports and Finance and Email and News. You match those up with AOL, and we've just made an exponential leap in capabilities here.

If they asked me, I did two shifts. I did sports, I did news, because I loved it.

Editorial imagery licensing includes celebrity, entertainment, sports, and news images that capture what is happening in the world around us.

ABC wouldn't be a player in the news major leagues until the 1970s, when Roone Arledge brought to ABC News the energy and programming approach he had applied to ABC Sports.

I don't watch too much TV when it comes to sports or news or things like that.

Music is the major form of communication. It's the commonest vibration, the people's news broadcast, especially for kids.

What I think works for Fox News is we have a very direct form of communication.

We relish news of our heroes, forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too.

When you're in the news business, you always expect the unexpected.

The news is glorified gossip.

The next question is how? How does news find us? What you need is a certain critical literacy about the fact that you are almost always subject to an algorithm. The most powerful thing in your world now is an algorithm about which you know nothing about.

The point is that newspapers are not there for spreading news but for covering it up. X happens, you have to report it, but it causes embarrassment for too many people, so in the same edition you add some shock headlines - mother kills four children, savings at risk of going up in smoke, letter from Garibaldi insulting his lieutenant Nino Bixio discovered, etc. - so news drowns in a great sea of information.
