Jim Walton Report Quotations

As seen most recently from war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq, from tsunami-ravaged South Asia and from Hurricane Katrina's landfall along the Gulf, ... CNN has shown that it is capable of balancing vigorous reporting with respect for private concerns.

If we were in a similar circumstance in the future I would want to make sure that our reporting was at least as diverse as it was during this most recent war.

In Iraq, embedding allows us to put reporters in situations that would otherwise be too dangerous for them.

At CNN, we are only in the business of finding and reporting the news. As for the pressure to deliver ratings, our viewership is up.

During the war, in which several of our embedded correspondents were able to report from moving vehicles crossing the Iraqi desert, the use of technology made news gathering safer.

I can't think of a time that the U.S. government asked us or instructed us not to report or air something.

Our embedded reporters during the war agreed to guidelines established by the military.
