If you are reading this it is because I’m dead: here’s what I want to tell you about how to live | Carlos Hernández de Miguel

Leaving this world in an age of lies and cruelty, my last message is simple: don’t give up on truth, says Spanish journalist Carlos Hernánde

I learned, from veteran colleagues, what I consider to be the two principles of journalism. The first is that objectivity is not the same as neutrality. If there is an aggressor and a victim, a liar and an honest person, a corrupt individual and an honourable one, then your task is to describe all that clearly and forcefully. I’m sick of those who believe that being a journalist means reporting both sides’ versions, without filters, without challenging their veracity, especially – and this is worse and all too common – when you know that one side isn’t telling the truth.

The second principle is that to be a good journalist, it’s vital that you’re a good person.

I always add a third. Journalism is not just another profession. Society’s right to be well informed rests on our work. Freedom, equality and democracy depend on our work – albeit not exclusively. So there are no excuses for lying or concealing information. If we do, we should be held professionally, and even criminally, responsible.

The only thing scarier than Kathryn Bigelow’s A House Of Dynamite is the idea of replacing the characters in the film with the actual unqualified morons in the current administration.

Farewell to the great John Lodge. My first ever concert as a young child was their Long Distance Voyager tour in 1981. I felt so cool 😎 Thanks for the memories !
