The world's creation has a beginning from the world's point of view, not from God's.

Violence is not to be undertaken by private persons. If a state or administration acts without due and visible attention to agreed international process, it acts in a way analogous to a private person. It purports to be judge of its own interest.

So every creative act strives to attain an absolute status; it longs to create a world of beauty to triumph over chaos and convert it to order.

A flourishing, morally credible media is a vital component in the maintenance of genuinely public talk, argument about common good.

Serving democracy and nourishing the common good is, for the media, something that requires not only attacking corrupt secrecies in a society, but also defending non-corrupt communication.

To conclude: good journalism is one of the models of good conversation and communication in the wider social context.

One of the most powerful defences the media can offer for controversial actions is, of course, public interest.
