There is no reason to expect more from journalists than from other professions. A journalist, however, ought to be true to one's self, free, objective, truthful, entertaining, accessible to all levels of society. He or she is a sort of advocate for the people, not having a judicial or legislative role but harmonizing and working face to face with the daily realities, every day of the week, every month of the year. A true journalist dreams with the news and once in awhile suffers nightmares or palpitations, shouts, fights his sources, takes risks, may die at any time. Yet the journalist must always be loyal to the Truth and to a sense of ethics.
Journalism is a profession with no room for the double standard.
