“Speech itself, inevitable and unrelenting, is the wind. It can dance like a zephyr. It can roar shriek or wail. But it can't be stopped. Everything we hate about the media today was present at its creation: its corrupt or craven practitioners, its easy manipulation by the powerful, its capacity for propagating lies, its penchant for amplifying rage. Also present was everything we admire -- and require -- from the media: factual information, penetrating analysis, probing investigation, truth spoken to power. Same as it ever was.” FreedomJournalismThe MediaBrooke Gladstone Book:The Influencing Machine: Brooke Gladstone On The Media Source: The Influencing Machine: Brooke Gladstone On The Media
