Editorial Quotations

Andy Stasiuk was a newsman of the old school of front-page journalism - tough, knowledgeable, cynical, single-minded and fun. He covered the news as a happy warrior in an era of cutthroat editorial competition.

One question about a joke is, how well is the strangeness of the situation resolved? At 'The New Yorker', we retain a lot of incongruity, tapping the playful part of the mind - Monty Python-type stuff. We also try to use humor as a vehicle for communicating ideas. Not editorial comment, but observation.

Certainly as an actor, half of your work is not going to end up on the screen anyway, because in the editorial process, they need to cut to the other actor in the scene. Very often, your best work ends up on the cutting room floor, because it just doesn't work with the overall narrative drive of the story.

There were always plenty of newspapers in the house. 'The Times', 'Guardian', 'Daily Telegraph' and 'Daily Mail' were all regular fixtures on the coffee table. I used to enjoy reading 'The Times' editorial pages and the 'Daily Mail' sports pages.

As with many teens, my first jobs included babysitting and mopping floors at McDonald's. Since then, I've held jobs a diverse as selling used cars, selling apparel, cosmetics, and real-estate, substitute-teaching six graders, teaching undergraduate creative writing, and working as an editorial assistant for a literary magazine.

There is a very deep conviction in the heart of the people who work in al-Jazeera that if it changes its editorial line, it will very quickly lose its audience.

Moderate to conservative Democrat. But I'm not going to impose my views on the editorial page.

In law school, I earned the respect of professors and served on the editorial board of 'The Yale Law Journal.'

For the doubters out there, of course I was going to have help from Penguin's editorial team in telling my story, which I talked about from the beginning.

Some people call it the 'Al Jazeera spirit' - courage, re-thinking authority, giving a voice to the voiceless. We have never been favored by the authority. The human being is the center of our editorial policy. We are not a TV station that rushes after stars, big names, press conferences, hand-shake journalism.

As an editorial cartoonist now, I live for those moments of inspiration, and it is exhilarating to be inspired by a topic, have an opinion on the topic, come up with a good cartoon on the topic, and to draw it and get it in the paper the next day. That is what I live for.

My hope is that as time goes on, that the director of national intelligence and the National Counterterrorism Center will be able to give better guidance to state and local officials about the credit-worthiness of these reports.

There is a distinction between something that has gone through an editorial process as opposed to something put up by someone that has been through none of those processes,

Ironically, only ten months prior to this sentencing, Roscoe Tanner and I sat down for an interview at the beautiful La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club in Southern California. This is the last public interview given by Roscoe Tanner. From an editorial perspective, this interview is something we at RadioTennis.com are quite proud of. Only Sports Illustrated Magazine, Tennis Week Magazine and RadioTennis.com have attempted to document the life and times of this former athlete. Unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons, this interview continues to gain international interest.

I wrote an editorial piece in 'Science' about the nightly data release and how I thought it was bad for science as a field, I think a few years before Celera was formed.

We are doing a systematic review of the editorial history of both papers and our procedures for evaluating them, to search for ways in which we might improve those. I have pointed out in the past that even unusually rigorous peer review of the kind we undertook in this case may fail to detect cases of well-constructed fraud. To support this effort, we are calling on outside experts, including members of our Board of Reviewing Editors and our Senior Editorial Board.

We have also drastically cut the number of page output errors, such as pages flushing and PostScript errors. In addition, we are increasing the accountability of both editorial and production departments with use of the system's reporting and monitoring page flow.

Why the measured, slow, and wimpy response? Has the editorial board gone vegetarian ?

We are not at all satisfied with Mike Robinson's response and will be taking this up further by writing to the BBC Editorial Complaints Unit.

There has been a general consensus among us in editorial ... (that) we feel that after 40 years of publishing our heroes have become way to chummy with each other. In earlier times, there was a certain element of danger and mistrust within the Marvel Universe, both from the human populace and its heroes. Heroes would meet and not instantly know or even like each other. Spider-Man used to get shot at, he was considered creepy, dangerous and - as J. Jonah Jameson was fond of saying - 'a masked menace!' 'Civil War' puts us back in that place. Where it leaves us? Well, you'll have to read to find out.

Where it makes me a little bit uncomfortable is taking the editorial content and turning one of those words into a commercial thing. I just feel like the actual editorial content within a news story should be sacred.

We're really exited about it - the Inquirer really slots into our commercial and editorial portfolio.

Commissioner Mattingly has the mayor's full confidence. You don't dismiss a dedicated, experienced professional in a knee-jerk reaction to appease an editorial board.

There are serious issues that the industry's facing, but we're certainly not burying our heads in the sand. There's a great deal of experimentation going on -- with youth, with free distribution, with different editorial content models. Stuff that works is hanging around, and stuff that doesn't work isn't.

An editorial cartoon should push boundaries and make people think. An editor who spikes a cartoon must have some clear grounds to do so. If it's going to incite a real riot -- and not just a riot on the Internet -- that would constitute strong criteria not to run it.

Broadly speaking, this is an approach they've used before. You shut down a publication and move out of key positions the people that cause you the most concern. In the process, you send a shot across the bow to the remaining editorial staff. And then you reopen.

Back in the 1980s, when I was a lowly editorial assistant by day and trying to be a novelist by night, no god reigned so supreme as the god of literary prose.

The weirdest I've felt was my first job ever. It was an editorial in London. They made me take my underwear off and cover myself with a shower curtain. It was almost see-through, so I was like, 'What's this all about?' I used to be quite shy, but modeling has made me more comfortable in those types of situations.

Adding content from Games.net puts our visitors in touch with quality editorial and authoritative news on the videogame industry, and adds value to the About.com experience for the casual gaming enthusiast.

In general, platform providers have a unique opportunity at the GDC to share knowledge with and inspire the people who will make or break their consoles, namely the game developers themselves.

I'm a novelist. I'm not a crusader, and I'm not an editorial writer. And I'm not writing fiction to convince anybody of anything.

Any stories and photos produced by AP staffers belong to AP. We cannot accept this attempt by the LPGA to put such severe limits on AP's editorial use of its own work, and we can't accept any demand that AP provide free use of its material as a condition for being allowed to cover an event.

And the big issue here, I think, is that the publisher took over the editorial pages, a guy named Jeff Johnson. He's an accountant from Chicago, doesn't know anything about what newspapers are supposed to be about, and he made a decision to get rid of the column.

As for editorial content, that's the stuff you separate the ads with.

Sorely in need of a tight editorial leash, (Miller) was kept on no leash at all, and that has hurt this paper and its trust with readers.
