I Think A Lot Of Newspapers Have

[the Web] Is Going To End Up Being A Tremendous Advantage, Providing We Can Work Out The Financial Structure. I Think We’ll See Newspapers Survive, Being Printed At Home... Or You’ll Have A Local Print Shop, So That Rather Than Waiting For The Newspapers To Arrive By Truck, Which Is 30 Percent At Least Of A Newspaper’s Cost, You’ll Go In And Push A Button, And It Will Take Your Dollar Bills Without Anyone Having To Be There. And It Will Print The Newspaper For You While You Wait. It Will Take Seven Minutes. There’s A Terrific Future For Print In My View And It Gives Me Great Heart.

People Were Murdered For The Camera; And Some Photographers And A Television Camera Crew Departed Without Taking A Picture In The Hope That In The Absence Of Cameramen Acts Might Not Be Committed. Others Felt That The Mob Was Beyond Appeal To Mercy. They Stayed And Won Pulitzer Prizes. Were They Right?

I Think America Has A Brilliant Future.

I Wrote About Bosnia At The Time. Somebody Looked Out Their Window And Saw Gangsters Coming Down The Street And Doing Ethnic Cleansing. I Said That Was The Thing That Would Happen In The Future, Someone Phoning In What They Were Seeing On The Scene. Whether It's The Huffington Post, The Daily Beast, Drudge Report Or The Bbc, All Those Reports, You Have To Assume There's A Real Person [who] Has Credibility.

This Impressed Me When I Was The Editor Of The Sunday Times [of London] - We Had The "bloody Sunday" Killings Of 13 Unarmed Civilians By British Paratroopers. We Interviewed 500 People For Our Report, And Not One Of Them Could Give Us A Total Picture Of What Was Happening. It Was Like The Rashomon Effect Multiplied A Million Times. For A Website Or Even A Newspaper To Be A Collector Of Information Flow Is Not The Highest Form Of Journalism.
