“If you spend a lifetime in journalism, you may have some stories that matter more, you may do work that is of greater importance, and you may serve some greater societal purpose. But you will never have as much fun as when you and the other sleep-deprived and beerstained wonders around you published your own damn newspaper.”
— David Simon, The Diamondback, March 10, 2020
David Simon feels about his experiences at his college newspaper the way I do about mine.
