The biggest mistake I've made overall in journalism, I believe, was too often letting my weight stand in the way of TV appearances.
That would, to some degree, mirror the structure from Mark Thompson's earlier period as director general, in which Mark Byford, his deputy, had overall responsibility for journalism – and for dealing with editorial crises such as those that have engulfed Newsnight.
And yet, after excitement settled down, I couldn't help feeling somewhat dissatisfied: the report delivers tactics, but not an overall strategy for journalism, its vision is interesting, but lacking in ambition.
The question is whether the overall standard of its journalism is really, really high.
Negative reviews, however painful to the individuals who receive them, benefit the overall ecology of literary journalism by maintaining some balance of good faith.
As one of his sports editors noted, Houlihan "brought people to the sports pages who normally never bothered with sport" and "due to his writing he improved immensely the overall standard of sports journalism in this country".
That is but a small problem compared to the overall drama facing the city's journalism.
I think understanding journalism in particular, just overall what it is to be a journalist and journalistic storytelling.
The authors made several criticisms of the documentary, but overall found it a "trenchant" work of journalism, made in "good faith and without ulterior motives".
Overall, it shows yet again that the key to journalism's future lies in finding a funding model that works.
