Journalism
A petty reason perhaps why novelists more and more try to keep a distance from journalists is that novelists are trying to write the truth and journalists are trying to write fiction.
Graham Greene (1904-1991) English writer.
The real news is bad news.
Marshall Mcluhan (1911-1980) Canadian communications theorist and educator.
In the real world, nothing happens at the right place at the right time. It is the job of journalists and historians to correct that.
Mark Twain (1835-1910) U.S. humorist, writer, and lecturer.
I hate journalists. There is nothing in them but tittering jeering emptiness. They have all made what Dante calls the Great Refusal. The shallowest people on the ridge of the earth.
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) Irish poet, and playwright.
Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read.

Journalists are like dogs, when ever anything moves they begin to bark.
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) German philosopher.
A journalist is a person who has mistaken their calling.
Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) Prussian German statesman and aristocrat.
Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers another.
