Television is altering the meaning of 'being informed' by creating a species of information that might properly be called disinformation ... Disinformation does not mean false information. It means misleading information - misplaced, irrelevant, fragmented or superficial information - information that creates the illusion of knowing something, but which in fact leads one away from knowing.
- Neil Postman

If only the journalists were modest. Since they're not, we'll say it: The majority of everything that happens on this planet escapes their notice.
- Rob Brezsny, Pronoia

Where all think alike, no one thinks very much.
- Walter Lippmann

Journalists need experts as badly as experts need journalists. Every day there are newspaper pages and television newscasts to be filed, and an expert who can deliver a jarring piece of wisdom is always welcome. Working together, journalists and experts are the architects of conventional wisdom.
- Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner, Freakonomics

La ética no es una condición ocasional, sino que debe acompañar siempre al periodismo como el zumbido al moscardón
- Gabriel García Márquez

¿Quieren que les cuente un cuento? (Would you like me to tell you a story?)
- Brozo, Mexico newscaster/clown, aka Victor Trujillo

Writer's block is the temporary paralysis caused by the conviction, on an unconscious level, that what the writer is attempting is in some way fraudulent, or mistaken, or self-destructive.
- Joyce Carol Oates

The function of the press in society is to inform, but its role is to make money. The monopoly publisher's reactions, on being told that he ought to spend money on reporting distant events, is therefore exactly that of a proprietor of a large, fat cow, who is told that he ought to enter her in a horse race.
- A.J. Liebling, quoted in From Milton to McLuhan

Physicists calculate that in about 100 years time we will have a planetary civilization. And that's what all the chaos is all about. We are witnessing one of the great transitions in human history from a fragmented savage Type-0 to a planetary and rather civilized Type-1. It's quite dangerous the transition. Every single headline I see in the newspapers is related to the birth pangs of the birth of a Type-1 civilization.
Michio Kaku, BBC Interview
