“Journalism schools are good to get a job, but I don't know what else they are good for. I don't like the word "journalism" to begin with. It's news reporting, and that consists of using your two feet. The only lesson, then, that you could give people is how to climb stairs, because there are no stories on the first floor.” PeopleGivingSchoolJournalism Author:Jimmy Breslin
“Journalism should be truthful and entertaining. You know, with news and important facts you can entertain people too. Have a little humor. Life isn't all that deadly all the time, but while you're having fun, tell the truth. If every word of a column is deadly serious, I can't read it. It makes me throw up.” PeopleImportantFunSeriousJournalismHaving FunTelling The TruthTruthfulBeing Truthful Author:Jimmy Breslin
“A job on a newspaper is a special thing. Every day you take something that you found out about, and you put it down and in a matter of hours it becomes a product. Not just a product like a can or something. It is a personal product that people, a lot of people, take the time to sit down and read.” PeopleMatterJobsFoundHoursSpecialProductsDown AndNewspapersJournalismSpecial Things Author:Jimmy Breslin
