“News is also an acronym for what people need to know, what they should know and what they want to know. If it's in one of those categories then I will do the story.”
-- Tom Llamas -
“I like Twitter more than Facebook. Twitter is a great way to deliver and get news. In news writing less is more and 140 characters is great. If you can't grab that headline in 140 characters than it's not a story. Viewers tweet all the time and they tell what stories they like and don't like. It's great to interact with them and get that instant feedback. It's great for the viewer and the journalist.”
-- Tom Llamas -
“I always tell reporter that you always have to be working. If you are at a party you can have a good time but if you hear something talking about something new or different that's going on you have to be working. In this business to be at the top of your game you really can't unplug.”
-- Tom Llamas -
“I like the saying the every setback is a setup for a comeback. Also, "Todos los tigres son iguales" which means all tigers are the same. A fellow reporter once told me that when I was on assignment in Haiti working around the clock.”
