Words written by journalist & novelist
Frederick Forsyth
from his memoir:
"The Outsider: My Life in Intrigue" -- 2015
"A journalist should never join the Establishment, no matter how tempting the blandishments. It is our job to hold power to account, not join it. In a world that increasingly obsesses over the gods of power, money and fame, a journalist and a writer must remain detached, like a bird on a rail, watching, noting, probing, commenting but never joining. In short, an outsider."
