Citizen & Indy Media

10. For decades, politicians and journalists have been
growing closer together. So close that it has not
always been good. [..] Politicians and journalists
have become intertwined - to the detriment of
both politics and journalism.
- Thomas Schmid, Publisher of the WELT Group, Berlin
