THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

I was thinking today, how could we get along without newspapers? There'd be no Democratic campaigning, no show-biz PR, no invasions of privacy, no condescension, no prurience, no half-baked satire, no bad comics, no sportswriters gnashing their teeth and screaming that the world was coming to an end when their team lost, no Martin Luther King Day sales, no instant martyrs, no scapegoating -- life would be very pleasant.

But then we'd have TV, and radio -- and the WEB. And those three media pick up where newspapers leave off.
