I en optegnelse fra 1850 hedder det: "I en optegnelse fra 1850 hedder det: "Giødwad kalder jeg personligt min Ven, og jeg har i de sidste tre a 4 Aar talet med ham hver evige Aften ... Hvis han ikke var Journalist, vilde jeg vel i ham have fundet Den, til hvem jeg nærmest kunde give mig hen i et virkeligt Venskab." Men Giødwad var og blev journalist, endda med afgjort liberale sympatier. Han var ansvarshavende redaktør for Kjøbenhavnsposten fra 1837-39 og fra 1840-77 knyttet til Fædrelandet som redaktionssekretær, redaktør og sidenhen som avisens "grå eminence". Kierkegaard brugte ham som sin "Correcteur" og som mellemmand, når de pseudonyme værker skulle over i trykkeriet.		In a note from 1850 Kierkegaard wrote: "I personally call Giødwad my friend, and in the last three to four years I have spoken with him every blessed evening.... If he were not a journalist, I would probably have found in him the person to whom I could have turned in a true friendship. But Giødwad was and remained a journalist, and even one with definite liberal sympathies. He was the responsible editor of Kjøbenhavnsposten from 1837-39 and from 1840-77 employed at Fædreland as a sub-editor, editor and finally as the newspaper's "grey eminence." Kierkegaard used him as his "Correcteur" and as his go-between when the pseudonymous works were sent to press.
