Work As A Journalist
Sale contributed frequently to the New York Review of Books in the 1970s -- he wrote 39 reviews and articles for that publication from 1971 to 1983, and offered his critical opinion of such now-notable books as Ragtime by E. L. Doctorow and Dispatches by Michael Herr.
In an entirely different field, Sale served as an occasional columnist for the Seattle Weekly, an alternative newspaper, covering the Seattle SuperSonics' season and playoff performance.

Famous quotes containing the words work and/or journalist:
“I have everything in the world that is necessary to happiness, good faith, good friends and all the work I can possibly do. I think God’s greatest blessing to the human race was when He sent man forth into the world to earn his bread by the sweat of his face. I believe in toil, in the dignity of labor, but I also believe in adequate compensation for that toil.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“If, for instance, they have heard something from the postman, they attribute it to “a semi-official statement”; if they have fallen into conversation with a stranger at a bar, they can conscientiously describe him as “a source that has hitherto proved unimpeachable.” It is only when the journalist is reporting a whim of his own, and one to which he attaches minor importance, that he defines it as the opinion of “well-informed circles.””
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
