David Talbot quotes about
two stories magazines
Most magazines have become wallpaper, they're all the same, all the same celebrities. It's really an abysmal time in American journalism right now. But occasionally one story or two will pop out.
political frustrated way
A lot of my idealism was frustrated by the end of the '60s because of the way things went with the assassinations and the sense that the political establishment was so fixed in its ways you couldn't change anything.
media literature brands
There are not that many new media brands you can say that about nowadays.
opportunity investors entry
We upgrade URZ to a Buy; we see an entry opportunity with investors.
regret done pressure
Do I regret taking the company public? Yes and no. Yes, because it put us under enormous pressure for a young company to go public at that point in its history, something you never could have done in the old days.
technology eerie world
...it is the Far Right today that establishes the terms of the nuclear debate. And in this context, in a room ringing with hysterical pleas on behalf of Reagan's eerie laser-beam technology, the MacBundys of the world seem eminently, refreshingly sane.
discovery stories exciting
FCU's PLS discovery has quickly become one of the most exciting stories in the uranium sector.
upgrading roger rating
We are upgrading UEX to a Buy rating; new CEO Roger Lemaitre changes everything.
rising incredibles projects
EFR has incredible leverage to the rising uranium price and its projects have massive potential.
causes journalism profession
Journalism is not just a cause, its also a wacky profession.
college favorites-things journalism
My favorite thing is still journalism. I'm almost 50. This has been my life ever since I was in college.
teenager integrity interesting
I knew I wanted to be a journalist ever since I was a teenager. While it is interesting and gratifying to be on the business side and to see how that all works, the main reason I kept a business role here was to protect the editorial integrity of Salon.
florida white house
While I'm critical to the Bush presidency, it's been enormously beneficial for Salon because we're seen as kind of an aggressive watchdog on the Bush White House. Particularly since Florida, our readership hit a whole new level, and we held onto those readers.
school college high-school
I got kicked out of high school, so I couldn't get into very many colleges.
