In general science journalism concerns itself with what has been published in a handful of peer-reviewed journals - Nature Cell The New England Journal of Medicine - which set the agenda.

This much we know: Journalism is not a precise science. It's on its best day is a crude art. We make mistakes I make mistakes. With more than 50 years as a journalist I have at least had the opportunity to blow more stories make more mistakes than maybe anybody in television.

One of the sad things about contemporary journalism is that it actually matters very little. The world now is almost inured to the power of journalism. The best journalism would manage to outrage people. And people are less and less inclined to outrage.

I respect newspapers but the reality is that magazine 'photojournalism' is finished. They want illustrations Photoshopped pictures of movie stars.

Contradictory to my religion I think is journalism.

I still love following and thinking about politics. I enjoy recommending important journalism I read or see from other sources.

Journalism wishes to tell what it is that has happened everywhere as though the same things had happened for every man. Poetry wishes to say what it is like for any man to be himself in the presence of a particular occurrence as though only he were alone there.

Journalism is concerned with events poetry with feelings. Journalism is concerned with the look of the world poetry with the feel of the world.

If journalism is good it is controversial by its nature.

I believe that music is another form of news. Music is another form of journalism to me so I have to cover all the areas with my album.
