“All I dreamed about Dr. Jekyll was that one man was being pressed into a cabinet, when he swallowed a drug and changed into another being. I awoke and said at once that I had found the missing link for which I had been looking so long, and before I went again to sleep almost every detail of the story, as it stands, was clear to me. Of course, writing it was another thing.” MenWritingLongSaidStoriesCoursesFoundSleepClearMissingChangedDrugDetailsOne ManLinksDrsCabinetsJekyll Book:The complete short stories Source: The complete short stories

“As an emerging photojournalist in the early 70s, my focus was on trying to create stories for magazines to the exclusion of almost everything else. I wish someone had told me then that the most personally important pictures you’ll ever make are those about you and your life. I’m glad I had the chance to work for some great magazines, but I really miss those little everyday images, the ones that take place in and around your own life, which will never make the news. Don’t sell yourself short: photograph your own life, not just everyone else’s.” TryingLittlesImportantStoriesWishChanceFocusMissingNewsSellsEverydayPhotographGladMagazinesEmergingExclusionPhotojournalistsYourself Short Author:David Burnett

“I think everyone should read The Girl on The Train, especially if they loved Gone Girl. It's about Rachel, a girl who sees a couple on her commute. Then one day she sees one of the people from the couple kiss another person. The next day they go missing. The story is told by 3 different perspectives, all characters you absolutely can't trust. It's an insane psychological thriller that's seriously addicting and the kind of book you can't put down.” PeopleIfsThinkingShouldKindPersonsBookDifferentCharacterStoriesGirlNextGoneMissingPerspectiveCoupleOne DayKissingTrainPsychologicalInsaneNext DayThrillersDifferent PerspectivePsychological Thrillers Author:Kyle
“It goes to show you how we in the press so often miss the big stories that are right under our noses. There is a famous journalistic legend about the time a young reporter covered the Johnstown flood of 1889. The kid wrote: God sat on a hillside overlooking Johnstown today and looked at the destruction He had wrought. His editor cabled back: Forget flood.

“I'll tell you what I miss most. What I would love to do, more than anything, is just anthologies. With an anthology you can tell any story and be in every division of television. We don't have any anthologies anymore, do we?” StoriesMissingTelevisionDivisionAnthology Author:Aaron Spelling
“Among all the complaints you hear these days about the crimes of the media, it seems to me the critics miss the big one. It is that especially TV, but also we of the print press, tend to reduce mess and complexity and ambiguity to a simple story line that doesn't reflect reality so much as it distorts it. ... What bothers me about the journalistic tendency to reduce unmanageable reality to self-contained, movielike little dramas is not just that we falsify when we do this. It is also that we really miss the good story.” LittlesSelfStoriesBigsRealitySeemsLinesSimpleMediaMissingCrimeTelevisionTvsDramaPressesCriticsTendenciesJournalismMessThese DaysBotherComplexityPrintComplaintsAmbiguityGood StoryJournalisticSelf Contained Author:Meg Greenfield
