Quotes by Peter Arnett (?)

“The job for the newsman, as we see it, is simply to cover all the news as fairly and as completely as possible. Our concern is not what effect a given piece of news will have on the public. Our concern is to get the news before the public, in the belief that a free public must be an informed public. The only cause for which a correspondent must fight is to tell the truth and the whole truth.”
― Peter Arnett, Saigon Has Fallen

“It's one thing to put on your nation's uniform to give your life for your country. But to dress up in black-market khakis and head into battle in a borrowed bush hat, armed only with a Nikon camera, 10 rolls of film and notebook, is definitely another thing.”
