Innocent

They say that journalists are concerned about the presumption of innocence. When in the past the arrests and raids were the bread of every day, the journalists were not very concerned about mounting the images. On the contrary, at a time when judicial information was scarcely available, television issued ten sentences for every thousand detainees and eleven were arrested in each of the dismissals. The faces of the detainees could be read in their clear faces, with the name and surname in writing. Locked up as usual, as if it were the fault of everything.

Then, punishment without trial led us inexorably to claim the right to a fair trial. Today, institutional justice has devoured all areas. Everything has become a verdict, a cost-effective raw material for the trial. And as in every pendulum, in many professions the regulation of work has been called for, in order to immediately denounce the abuse of regulation and the lack of freedom. Intimidated by the fear of being accused or tried, doctors are frightened of healing, teachers and school teachers of children. Journalism.

Over and above moral responsibility, criminal responsibility has prevailed. Hence the almost obsessive concern of journalists about the presumption of innocence. A veteran editor told the media fellows: “You never say that this or that has happened. Put everything in someone else’s mouth, say that this or that has been said to have happened this or the other.” The journalist misunderstood that the sources had to be admitted in the information. The journalist forgot that journalism requires a testimony and a commitment to the time itself. Oral language journalism: Urlia says, Sandia adds, Berendia replies...

No -- nobody has done anything. “I haven’t been,” “I haven’t done,” “I don’t know,” “I haven’t seen anything.” It is not a question of hunting witches, but everyone has to bear their own baton n.Ha when the time comes to look at obligations when they collide rights (intimacy, privatization, reputation,
presumption of innocence, transparent information...). Or do obligations not collide? It is well known that the media have conducted parallel trials, that media convictions are simple.

Who is to blame for the scenario of uncertainty that has just attracted the elections? The voters, the candidates, the system? Who is to blame for the earthquake in Italy? The seismologists, the politicians, the builders? Is it an alleged earthquake if it's an attack? Could you make choices? If in journalism the presumption of innocence makes everything “supposed” and “possible”, the time has come to remember that the assumptions are half-corrupt. And the journalistic sense, commitment and honesty.

Institutional responsibility for the protection of children

We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]

Deprotection of overprotection

We have renewed the dialogue in the secretariat of the faculty, for the most auspicious: they are far away, for their enrollment, the times when only the students came. The trend has changed for a long time, and parents – most notably mothers – are taking an increasingly... [+]

The silogism of the carpentry

The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

The legacy of the depressed Despremu

From the Caldereros: A blackface in San Sebastian?

I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]

Long way in small steps!

The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]

They don’t know why

The Department of Education doesn't understand why public employees have gone on strike. He's got to ask the LAB Syndicate. This union signed an agreement with the department in April 2023. Two years later they have also called for a strike because, unlike the previous ones, the... [+]
