Is the freedom of speech as stated in law enough?
I can imagine that a lot of journalists are afraid to say what they want (or need) to say. The thread of losing the job is possibly a great burden in the pursuit of truth.
We should enable some sort of financial independence for journalists to give them every reason to speak and write truthfully.
A young and starting journalist needs a job at an established organization and is therefore bound to theire agenda.
- idoh 6y agoI agree that the world is better with independant journalists seeking and speaking truth to power. However, I disagree with your conclusion that the way to get this is basically state funded journalists. State controlled media is a sign of corrupt governments world wide, we must not go in that direction.
