There wasn't this kind of cartoonist when I started.

This is the kind of work that newspapers are in business to do. We're running this in order to give people a perspective of what the controversy's about, not to titillate, and we have done that with a whole wide range of images throughout our history.

They have no right to take content from our newspapers for free.

There's a number of things we need to do, but the most important thing is to connect to the people. These are their rights.

It takes some learning, ... but we each have our strengths. Linda's a great writer; I'm a great copy editor. I did a lot of copy editing at my college newspapers and other things, which I enjoyed very much. And I never saw anything that couldn't be changed: 'Four score and seven years ago?' What is that? Eighty-seven years ago!

They blocked us, there's no mystery in that. I didn't do a good enough job of getting these guys ready ? they must have been reading the newspapers too much and that's my fault. We've got to get better ? if you can't stop the run, you've got no chance to win no matter the level and we've got to get that done. We wanted to blitz them, but we could never get them to third down.

They can't control what is printed in the foreign newspapers like they can in the local papers. So they try to limit the number of people who have access to them.

In his opinion, you want to know what you're doing wrong. You don't want to read about it in newspapers or hear about it in a meeting.

In many ways the industry has been on the defensive. I'm doing a little bit of a cheerleader thing. Newspapers need to get their swagger back.

I'm not an absolutist about free speech. Intellectually, I believe that most of the time it's better to let things get said, argue them, and put lies and stupidities to rest. Practically, I know that newspapers rarely issue corrections with the same prominence they give to denouncements - and Twitter, by its nature, never does.

I know what the conventional wisdom is. We hear it all the time: Newspapers are dead. That's all we hear. ... That's just wrong, it really is wrong.

But does it matter if organisations independent enough and rich enough to employ journalists to do their job disappear? Yes, that matters hugely; it affects the whole of life and society.

I hope other newspapers will show restraint and not use these pictures.

In the beginning of the century, in 1900, the newspapers in this country began running comic strips, and they were called jokes or funnies. The word comics developed later, but it is that that began to give the name - the ambience of comics - the feeling of being a frivolous kind of art-form.

If you want to cut that off, go read the newspapers in China. The news becomes part of the party.

Clearly it seems to me the audience here is the winner. The thing that newspapers do better than anybody else is the gathering and editing of local news.
