“Great journalists have always enjoyed the double
gift of active observation, of passionate detachment.
And great newspapers are precisely distinguished
because of the deep interest with which they take
part in national and international life, and for the
great disinterest with which they observe it,
comment on it, and analyse it.”
Salvador de Madariaga
