The search for truth is the duty of every human being and even more so of every journalist. Every one of us must endeavor to break free from the ignorance in which state and media powers try to maintain us. Every citizen must know how to overcome the obstacles that prevent us from seeing the other side of the mirror. It is in seeking the truth with honesty, courage and determination, no matter what the consequences for us might be, that our dignity lies.

Providing independent and honest information and telling the truth on the various forms of terror or oppression practiced by some states may contribute to peace, save lives and alleviate suffering. Even though telling the truth and denouncing abuses and crimes might expose us to insults and threats, we must never be intimidated or give in to fear. One must solely be concerned about those bruised human beings that claim their own dignity and ask to be recognized in their humanity. It’s on that side of the mirror that truth awaits us and gazes at us with benevolence.
