For the working press

As a fellow journalist, I appreciate your need to extract facts with maximum efficiency. These links were designed with that in mind. Thank you for considering my story.  

The basis of our government being the opinion of the people,
the very first object should
be to keep that right;
and were it left to me to decide whether we should have
a
government without newspapers,
or newspapers without a government,
I should not
hesitate for a moment to prefer the latter.

--Thomas Jefferson
