More From Nora Ephron

Too few journalists become screenwriters. i say to all the would-be screenwriters: become journalists. and i’ll say to working journalists: do not stay journalists. become screenwriters.
Would Be Journalist Screenwriters
Many journalists now are no more than channelers and echoers of what orwell called the official truth. they simply cipher and transmit lies. it really grieves me that so many of my fellow journalists can be so manipulated that they become really what the french describe as functionaires, functionaries, not journalists.
Lying Grieving Ciphers
I met journalists that were on both sides of things. people who are young, enthusiastic and hard working journalists working on the online side and people who had been there forever. there was one journalist who had running shoes under her desk in case she had to kick of her heels and go out and cover a breaking news story.
Running Hard Work News Stories
From the essay "twenty-five things people have a shocking capacity to be surprised by over and over again" 1. journalists sometimes make things up. 2. journalists sometimes get things wrong. 3. almost all books that are published as memoirs were initially written as novels, and then the agent/editor said, this might work better as a memoir. 6. freedom of the press belongs to the man who owns one.

It's only when journalists understand the role they play in this propaganda, it's only when they realize they can't be both independent, honest journalists and agents of power, that things will begin to change.

It doesn't matter how good the enemy's weapons are. if he can't see you, he can't hit you. cover, cover, cover. make sure you're never exposed.

America Enemy Dangerous
With the cgi, suddenly there's a thousand enemies instead of six - the army goes off into the horizon. you don't need that. the audience loses its relationship with the threat on the screen. that's something that's consistently happening and it makes these movies like video games and that's a soulless enterprise. it's all kinetics without emotion.
Army Games Enemy
Try never to speak of your enemies by name. any publicity is still publicity - and there are those for whom your disapproval constitutes a recommendation.
Names Enemy Trying
The enemy is not fundamentalism; it is intolerance. in this case, the intolerance is perverse since it masquerades under the "liberal" rhetoric of "equal time." but mistake it not.
