"When the press is adequate, selfless and generous, it is prepared to know the good and has the courage to do so, that press can keep and care for the public virtue; without it, the people's government is only farcical and mocking. The cynical, mercenary and demagogic press, finally, will shape a people as fragile as him.”
Joseph Pulitzer, 1904.
I've never wanted to be a journalist. When I was young, I had a boyfriend. He does. He learned journalism. He wanted to be a journalist, but he was not given any door to the project that was worth it. Today it is dedicated to something else.
I've never wanted to be a journalist, but how haven't I understood that passion? Who does not want the lies of power to be revealed? Who does not want to clear up the dirt that is hidden from us? Lift the sewer? To give the truth to the citizens? Who’s never seen All the President’s Men, The Post or Spotlight?
It will be said, and reasonably enough, that the exciting journalistic routes are only in movies, that when you land, all your dog dreams come true. It is enough not to lose work in the situation in which we find ourselves, due to the crisis in the usual media and, above all, in the written press.
"Lifting the carpets of power can have serious consequences. Pepe Rei, besides being a model of journalistic principles and values, we have an example of this"
Andra in two conversations. It is being said that the wording is half empty, or rather, they complain to each other in sorrows for how well they both know. Most of them are freelance, including many workers until recently. Apparently, with the young man who counts the followers and the calyxes is tired of the seagull he has given to the pincho. The calling, if you look, if you look right among children, invoices, tiredness, you can still find it, but the freedom to act doesn't appear at all. Yes, the other's answer, which is to stick the copite to the tortola.
And to me, at the back table, I almost finished another article, the news made me crak on my cell phone. Death of Pepe Rei. And I started thinking about journalism. The Black Sheep drew the book of Bourbon, which was renewed and much more extended.
Journalism remains the fourth power, but if at some point it had the role of controlling other powers, it soon became an instrument of propaganda of the powers. And from there to the last step: the factory of lies, including those that pluck up with the uncovering of the enemy's faces news.
Lifting the rugs of power can have serious consequences. Pepe Rei, besides being a model of journalistic principles and values, is an example of this. Maybe someone has to put it into a movie taking advantage of the story of one party finding that window.
In our country, journalism has taken many paths. It is to be welcomed that some have done the job as the only way to do another journalism, which works differently. In the mere copy of what big groups do, there are no liberating projects. As it is not by giving its neck the commitment to the truth and turning it into loudspeakers and propaganda passports ajenos.Una once the two cribs and the three pintxos are paid, the
blonde launches a few key questions to the antioch until she takes the road to the street: “What or to whom do we want journalists to be? Should we defend the interests of the company that pays us and the partisan interests that it defends or fight for the rigour that is supposed to this trade? Girl, maybe we have to stop asking questions and giving uncomfortable answers?”

Euskaraldia comes back. Apparently, it will be in the spring of next year. They have already presented it and the truth is that it has surprised me; not Euskaraldia himself, but his motto: We'll do it by moving around.

I do not know if you also have the same perception – I recognise this: here I have started to write in a scientific way. I am referring to the natural extension of the word laziness. I hear more and more in the corners of Hego Euskal Herria: Basque, Spanish and, of course,... [+]
Many at Christmas feel more lazy than illusion when we think about meals and family gatherings. But we anticipate that it is not food that makes us feel collectively uncomfortable, but the normativity that defines the traditional family. Moreover, we would dare to say that the... [+]
I have always found the way in Spanish to the carriages that can be found here and there: humiliating. Isn't it a pretty light, white name or doesn't it have any connotation? After all, everything that was going on there had to be humiliated. It is known that for the god of... [+]
