Democracies succeed or fail based on their journalism.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Journalism is what we need to make democracy work.
Journalism is what maintains democracy. It's the force for progressive social change.
I think that the failure of newspaper competition in a community is a very serious handicap to the dissemination of the knowledge that the citizens need to participate in a democracy.
Journalism still, in a democracy, is the essential force to get the public educated and mobilized to take action on behalf of our ancient ideals.
Everything seems set up for success in digital journalism - money, eyeballs, software, brands.
Journalism is about results. It's about affecting your community or your society in the most progressive way.
Success is the space one occupies in the newspaper. Success is one day's insolence.
In emerging democracies like Russia, in authoritarian states like Iran or even Yugoslavia, journalists play a vital role in civil society. In fact, they form the very basis of those new democracies and civil societies.
They succeed, because they think they can.
Ideology, politics and journalism, which luxuriate in failure, are impotent in the face of hope and joy.
