48 Quotes by Fiona Barton

As a journalist, I've been a professional watcher, picking up the body language and verbal tics that make us individuals and interesting to others.

Over the years, I've interviewed the victims, the guilty, the famous, the important, and the ordinary people affected by tragedy or good fortune. But strangely, it is not always the people in the spotlight that have stayed with me. It is often those on the periphery, the bit players in the drama, that continue to haunt.

Yes, there are bad apples, but I do feel journalists do a good job, often in very difficult circumstances.
