On Journalism

 


“Journalism is printing something that someone does not want printed. Everything else is public relations.” 


 

In his 1945 essay The Freedom of the Press (written as a preface to Animal Farm, but unpublished in his lifetime), Orwell wrote: 


‘If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.’
