To Challenge Authority
Our job is to monitor the centres of power. I think that, in the end, is the best definition of journalism I have heard: to challenge authority – all authority – especially so when governments and politicians take us to war, when they have decided that they will kill and others will die.
– Robert Fisk, The Great War For Civilisation

Makes me think of a guy on NPR yesterday who said that we shouldn’t worry about losing newspapers, we should worry about losing journalists.
