“Do not confuse the ability of somebody to take a picture and post it online with journalism. That isn’t an element of journalism. That is a moment in time if you like but that is not what people are paying money for when they pay for a quality newspaper, or they subscribe to a leading channel. Oh, no, no! That is the biggest mistake that people make! What journalism is about is the facts, the interpretation and the analysis.”
