The tech industry - and, more specifically, Silicon Valley - continues to stumble forward in earnest about how few women are represented in its top ranks of management and on its boards.
— Kara Swisher
Everything is a narrative in life. I learned that early on as a reporter at the 'Washington Post.'
I don't write about Google except to insult the company.
I don't think you can look at my history and say they love me to death in Silicon Valley.
I love all my scoop children. But consistency and persistence is really my aim.
Readers appreciate the truth. Why say, 'Some think a situation is a mess?' Based on my reporting, if a situation is a mess, then I say that. The truth is always what reporters tell each other when they get back to the newsroom.
I don't have bad taste; I have no taste. I wear a lot of the things I wore in high school, but not the cowl-neck sweaters. I was never tall, and I am the same size, so I still wear a lot of those clothes.
People are worried about what's going to happen to journalism - and they should be. Every day, the blogosphere is getting better and print media is getting worse; you have to be an idiot not to see that.
Most reporters are so transactional rather than strategic.
Sure, I am funny and have a good sense of humor. Mostly, though, I just tell the truth. The internal dialogue people have in their heads - I just write it.
It's the nature of journalism to need to be close to your subjects. And either you're able to be tough on them, which a lot of us are, or you get in bed with them, and some people do.
I'm focused on getting to a place where we can prove that journalism can make good money on the web.
I am a big proponent of being in touch with everyone even when I do not have a story to ask about.
