Stone when I came across an article by Jon +Schwarz on The Intercept +<a href="https://theintercept.com/2015/05/07/new-documentary-legacy-f-stone/">about +his extraordinary contribution to investigative journalism in +USA</a>. The article is about a new documentary in two parts +(<a href="https://vimeo.com/123974841">part one is 12 minutes</a> and +<a href="https://vimeo.com/123974842">part two is 30 minutes</a>), and +I found both truly fascinating. It is amazing what he was able to +find by digging up public sources and government papers. He +documented lots of government abuse and cover ups, and I find +<a href="http://www.ifstone.org/weekly.php">his weekly news letters</a> +inspiring to read even today.</p> + +<p><blockquote> +All governments are run by liars and nothing they say should be believed. +<br>- I. F. Stone +</blockquote></p> + +<p>His starting point was that reporters should not assume governments +and corporations are telling the truth, but verify all their claims as +much as possible. I wonder how many Norwegian reporters can be said +to follow the principles of I. F. Stone. They are definitely in short +supply. If you, like me half a year ago, have never heard of him, +check him out.</p> + + + A French paperback edition of the book Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig is now available http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_French_paperback_edition_of_the_book_Free_Culture_by_Lawrence_Lessig_is_now_available.html
