Summary

This quote represents the fundamental importance of press freedom in maintaining a functioning representative government. It highlights the crucial role of the media in holding power accountable, informing the public, and fostering transparency. By allowing journalists to freely investigate, report, and criticize without fear of reprisal, a society can ensure that the actions and decisions of its leaders are subject to scrutiny. Without the ability to freely access information and express dissenting views, the democratic process and the true representation of people's interests can be undermined.

He would say, 'How funny it will all seem, all you've gone through, when I'm not here anymore, when you no longer feel my arms around your shoulders, nor my heart beneath you, nor this mouth on your eyes, because I will have to go away someday, far away...'
