Marriage against Nature
Our role is not to be for or against it is to wear the feather in the wound. Albert Londres
For a journalist , there are many reasons to violate the ethics of his corporation. Greed, lust for power , the desire to feel protected , can be a motivation. Friendship , cronyism , mimicry or cowardice , too. These reasons are quite human . Most of us also are likely to succumb .

* Succumb to greed , luxury or power , destroyed the journalistic qualities of a journalist and thus the reason and the same beauty of its existence.

* After decades of subservience to the powerful and the market, a kind of wind of revolt seems to be emerging in the new millennium
Humanity is evolving and its excesses eventually generate the means to correct them. do not doubt that one day the media will find the taste of ethics. They will therefore follow the path of the great human values. The universality , brotherhood, justice, truth , education will again become their first motto .
