Quote of the Day | 0406
I spent the first half of my adult life almost comically devoted to the belief that journalism would preserve American democracy. I still believe in the sacred duties of a free press. But if I’m honest about my own experiences in the field, the lessons that emerge most vividly are these:

- Journalism hardly ever tells the most important stories
- Even when it does, not much happens
