  • The big journals and Nobel laureates are the equivalent of Congressional leaders in science journalism. -- Michael Pollan
  • 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. -- Michael Pollan
  • The stories about epidemics that are told in the American press - their plots and tropes - date to the nineteen-twenties, when modern research science, science journalism, and science fiction were born. -- Jill Lepore
  • I studied science and journalism at the University of Colorado and then got interested in experimental film there and started doing my own films. -- Eric Darnell
  • I spend time in the classroom. I think more of them aren't political science than are political science. I particularly like talking to journalism students. -- Jim Edgar
  • Science doesn't care, by and large, what the answers are. It's only interested in getting the right answer. And journalism should be very much that way. -- Scott Pelley
  • I read Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Reader's Digest... I read some responsible journalism, and from that, I form my own opinions. I also happen to be intelligent, and I question everything. -- Gary Coleman
  • Journalism should be more like science. As far as possible, facts should be verifiable. If journalists want long-term credibility for their profession, they have to go in that direction. Have more respect for readers. -- Julian Assange

  • 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. -- Dan Rather
  • I've always been kind of a mutt creatively. I started off in journalism, and I've actually done more police and procedural shows than I've ever done science fiction shows. I was on 'Murder She Wrote,' I was on 'Walker, Texas Ranger,' I was on 'Jake and the Fat Man.' -- J. Michael Straczynski
  • Journalism is not a precise science, it's a crude art -- Dan Rather
  • Journalism (definition): The art, or science, of representing life as a series of clichés. -- Richard Summerbell
  • I studied science and journalism at the University of Colorado and then got interested in experimental film there and started doing my own films." -- Eric Darnell
