If journalism is problematic, so is democracy…:
«We all understand that if journalism is problematic, so is democracy. We argue that reliable information should be a human right and is a common good, available to all. We believe that the main mission of Constructive Journalism is not primarily to save journalism from itself or to aid a troubled media enterprise. It is to reinstall trust in the idea that shared facts, shared knowledge and shared discussions are the pillars on which our societies balance», Ulrik Haagerup
