Washington Post executive editor
Leonard Downie Jr. also tells the British Journalism Review:
* "We are attacked by both the left and the right and more so now than ever, because the country is so polarised. I think everyone wants to read news coverage with their own bias, and so we pretty much piss off both sides equally without trying."
* "We still have economic necessities and the downsizing of the newsroom is one of them. But it will still be quite adequate to the task. The dedication of the Graham family to journalism as a public service, which you can see not just at the Post but at Newsweek -- which are of a much higher quality than most -- makes a big difference. It made Watergate possible."
* "There's still a lot of glamour attached to journalism here in Washington - sometimes I think there's too much."
