The quote I found most interesting from Bourieu's essay is: "The farther a paper extends its circulation the more it favors such topics that interest 'everybody' and don't raise problems." I found this quote to be very true in the media today. If a paper is conscious of their audience they will better be able to ensure their happiness. By a paper extending its circulation, more people will be reached and more groups of people will be included in the paper.
Another quote I found to be interesting is on page 329: "TV news, 'suits everybody because it conforms what they already know and, above all, leaves their mental structures intact." This quote is saying that TV news doesn't force people to think and gives them what they already know. Bourdieu is criticizing the TV news and saying that it doesn't allow the audience to question and analyze the news mentally.
