Oh, of course that's one pre-condition, indeed. Sure. No doubt about it, Sir.
And how can so called freedom of speech be secured/applied/sustained/guarantied? In other words, what are the pre-conditions for free speech as such? And what does "free speech" even mean, in the context of this thread's questions? Which is about investigative journalism and its function and pre-conditions.
Know what I'm asking?
Let me then, after having read your comment, re-phrase my questiion: What would be needed and neccessary in order to secure/sustain/guarantie free speech? And what is considerd as free speech? What's its definition?
You're asking questions that would probably be tough for lawyers trained in these subjects to answer, and would probably require paragraphs of writing and clauses and so on.
I'm no where close to be being a lawyer trained in these subjects so the sensible thing is just to say I don't know.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
