Jean-Paul Sartre on the freedom of the press (against media monoculture):

'the main mistake people make concerning the freedom of the press is to think that it is a right belonging to journalists. But this is a fallacy. Its a right belonging to the reader of the newspaper. It is the people working in offices, the people working in factories, who have a right to know what's happening, a right to draw their own conclusions'
