to the future of journalism question, i think, honestly, that journalism will look profoundly bettern years from now than it looks today. i think, if you look at the coverage, i'll use ours, not to be arrogant, but it's what i'm most intimate with, if you look at the coverage of ebola, and you think about what the coverage of ebola would have looked like in a pre-digital era, it would have been fine, fabulous. you would have had great newspaper stories. you would have had great photography. courageous journalists. all this stuff. but you wouldn't have had the videos on the "new york times" website that described, for instance, one young man writhing outside of a hospital with his parents screaming because there wasn't room for him in the hospital. you wouldn't have had the video in the "new york times" website, produced by us, in which an ambulance driver drove through the streets of monrovia, looking for ebola victims whose families didn't want to touch them, so he could pile them into his truck and try to find a hospital that would take them. journalism, let's put it over here, the

and that was that journalism remain a journalism school, not a school of media.rnalism was the driving element. charlie: has that changed? chris: not at all. the focus on journalism remains. charlie: he would come here and present the award every year. chris: he would. and interact with students. it was a wonderful thing to see. 100, 200 students in a room with walter, regaling them with stories. as you know, he was always more interested in their stories than his. charlie: the secret of water that some people knew but not many, was his curiosity. he was an anchorman, but his fascination -- somehow he invited the nation's curiosity about medicine, the universe. and also about celebrity and the rest of it. he enjoyed the company of people he admired because of their skills as a musician, filmmaker or cultural figure. eric: if you had two students to consider and they were equal storytellers, you would want the one that was creative, curious, adaptable. thanne that had more storytelling skills. they had something plus. that is the difference between great journalis

washington journal is next. ♪ it is washington journal october 26, a busy week in the house of representatives of foreign banks, raising the debt limit, and that's all or thursday when elections take lace for speaker of the house. ,arring any serious opposition paul ryan is poised to become the next speaker. we would like to hear from you and our first 45 minutes, what you think the -- the next speaker should accomplish. what is your message for the next speaker of the house? three lines to choose from.

the journal doesn't make stuff up.hy not just have the study of hundreds of people theranos versus lab corp. say, listen, we're willing to do it, we're willing to do it now as lab corp is quest. just say it right now on air quest, lab corp, we want to do a head-to-head 200, 300, 400 patients. what do you say? yes. >> we've already done it. absolutely. and it's actually even published in our fda decision summary from the summer from a 900-patient study where we got fda clearance of the exact system that the journal is questioning and demonstrated venous versus finger stick across a huge number of patients. it was 889, i think, for that test. and we've done that over and over again for every single test. >> excellent. elizabeth holmes, founder, chair and ceo of theranos. thank you for coming on "mad money." good to see you. >> good to see you too. >>> read the journal, listen to our interview. you make up your mind. stick with cramer. george johnson can not fly. he can not see through doors. his speed, anything but super

it can reach its journalism to more people than ever before in its history.ut it is a great challenge as well, because it means it has to remake and rethink how it makes itself in this journalism. that requires absolute attention and focus. i think it requires scale as well. the "ft" is a 300 million pound journalism business in a 5 billion pounds education business. it was going to be increasingly difficult not to much from an investment point. investment we could have dealt with. but to bring the focus, the clarity, additional insight and expertise, and the scale that is required by that focus on being the very best of journalism. francine: it is difficult to make money because of social media. it is becoming harder? john: the "ft" does make money. as everybody knows, it was a lush year in profits. last year profits of 24 million pounds on sales of 300 million pounds. i believe the "ft" has a sustainable and profitable future, but the best way of ensuring it can maximize that is by being part of a company that is completely and actually focus on journalism.

then i got a job at "the wall street journal." brian: how?: a friend of mine at conde nast had been at "the wall street journal" and was moving to hong kong and put me up for the job. brian: you are a reporter and you can write. amy: when i was at "the journal", i was technically an assistant. i was so bad at my assistant duties because i wanted to get bylines. it worked out because they made me a reporting assistant. i think it is all about clips. i had a day job, i worked six days a week, so i can write on my day off and get stories in the paper. i think it is one of those really great industries where it doesn't matter where you went to school or your fancy internship. if you have the clips, people will be impressed. brian: what is the difference and working at "the wall street journal" and "the new york times?" amy: it is pretty different. i worked at "the journal" before and after rupert murdoch bought it. after, there was a perception that there was a conservative plant. certainly, the editorial page's more conservative but i think the

i've been in the business of global journalism, it is a great thing to be in.eally important, a white social purpose. being in the business of global education, likewise, important to the future of the world and a great opportunity to grow but those are two quite different horses and you cannot ride them both simultaneously. francine: was there any moment in the negotiations where you thought actually, it is such a big brand we shouldn't be letting it go? john: personally, a hugely difficult decision for me. when i joined pearson in 1997, its ownership of the "ft" was one of the things that attracted me. ironically, the synergy between the "ft" and the rest of pearson are greater now than any time since 1997 in all the time i have been with pearson. they are synergies they can be achieved through partnership, and one of the ways we got to know nikkei was through the partnership we formed with them around english language teaching to the corporate sector in japan over the last few years. so personally, emotionally, a difficult decision for me, difficult decision

no country for journalism: profession. >>> the handle is@snowden.izen 4 hits twitter. >>> there are certain news events when you examine the coverage them reveal much about the larger story: the disaster that structural the hajj pilgrimage in mecca is an example of that reflected through the lenses of saudi and airanian media. two tloningz of pilgrims met at an intersection called nina. what happens next is unclear. what we know is hungry of lives were lost. one of the reasons for the confusion journalists say is they were denied access to the scene for up to seven hours. the larger story is the geo politics of the region, news reports coming out of riyadh and a bit of bad press given it happened in a place muslims consider sacred and saw e arabia and iran are fighting wars by proxy elsewhere in the region. our starting point this week is mecca. >>> the city of mecca is home to 2 million people and the kaaba considered by most to be the holiest site in islam. during the hajj, the city's population can more than triple. this is not the first time cro

no one in egypt can bar anywhere working in media or journalism or on t.v.m expressing their views. had the interview followed up, which he did not, he might have mentioned that at least 18 journalists remain in egyptian zales and seven guilty verdicts stand against al jazeera employees tried in absentia. president asis said he is open to the idea of clemency but would rather not interfere with the judiciary which is precisely what he did when he pardoned fahmy and mohammed. theitsis military said sus spendnd one of its officers after an incidents in which two journalists were assaulted, their equipment destroyed. captured on a distant camera, two journalists who say they had prior authorization to be in the area near nabolos can be seen wearing body armor clearly marked as, "press." andrea bernardi and abbas mumani were roughed up. their camera was smashed on the ground. what was left was returned, they say, minus the memory cards and the content. the pair was covering demonstrations following the funeral of a palestinian killed by security forces. theitsis

he came to epitomize yellow journalism. yet yet hurst newspaper was the only one in new york city that objected to what it called, a disgraceful spectacle. the new york times and all of the other high-minded newspapers were the one that supported it. it just makes me wonder about the label that we use and that history just has a way of perpetuating narratives that may not be true. >> if there is anything of this it's be wary of the official record. >> oh yes. >> thank you so much for the work you have done. it sounds like each of you went in to your books with a sense of passion and protest and a sense of discovery and openness what you would find. i would love to hear about what work some of the things that surprised me most in the journey of writing these works question. >> what surprised me most, i went into it already knowing there is a shocking thing that happened in new york city. i knew that was are ready stunning. what really surprised me was the extent to which the entire episode had been sanitized by elite custodi

shortly after what i had to say could help other men in similar positions. >> and so people journal for different reasons and that's a very personal kind of experience, but for you, were you someone who kept a journal normally? was it something you started because of your wife's breast cancer? how did you come to write the experience? >> i'm a lifelong journalist, but private journals were done erratically through my life and sporadically. this was done very radically. it got personal and very honest and that's what the book ended up being. >> when did you begin to journal? >> just when she was diagnosed. the day she was diagnosed. >> and then now the book is published? yes. >> so when in your experience does the book end? >> it doesn't end because cancer is chronic and it's always there. what the book does is have hope and this -- there have been 15 books in 15 years written by men about their partners' breast cancer. 14 are out-of-date and mine is current and men are the forgotten part of the equation. men's universe is threaten and turned upside down, and most people kind of igno

where is the journalism. that's not journalism. most journalists do that.ertainly not at the a.p., that's not the goal. >> not the goal! you're forgetting the cornerstones of modern journalism. cable news has shown the value of bending the facts to fit your beliefs. >> all this snow and still cries over global warming! >> brian williams. the helicopter we were traveling in was hit by an r.p.g. >> the a.p. taught us get the story out quickly and check the facts later. >> a.p. reported millionaire robert durst had been booked on weapons charges in louisiana but mixed up robert durst the murderer with fred durst the (bleep) musician from the '90s. unbelievable. >> it is unbelievable and wasn't a good thing. >> a robot can never look at 70-year-old murderer and say that reminds me with bleached hair from the early '90s. human stupidity at its finest. >> that is a mistake we regret and mistakes will happen. >> no way! that went crazy viral. >> it did. and that wasn't even your best work! in 2014 the a.p. was the first to tweet dutch military plane carrying bodie
