Exposing lies, uncovering truth: Standing true to a mission [1]
By Tom Benner
As an American journalist living and working in Asia, I have watched in astonishment as powerful leaders around the world have sought to delegitimise the free press and undermine government transparency. The attacks that we see today on journalists and journalism by self-seeking and self-serving interests speak to the core of our mission.
