To See Life. To See The World. To Watch The Faces Of The Poor, And The Gestures Of The Proud. To See Strange Things. Machines, Armies, Multitudes, And Shadows In The Jungle.

I Suggest That What We Want To Do Is Not To Leave To Posterity A Great Institution, But To Leave Behind A Great Tradition Of Journalism Ably Practiced In Our Time.

Journalism Is The Art Of Collecting Varying Kinds Of Information (commonly Called News) Which A Few People Possess And Of Transmitting It To A Much Larger Number Of People Who Are Supposed To Desire To Share It.
