FOWLER, Andrew. Australian investigative journalist: "large sections of the media don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story"

Andrew Fowler (Australian print, radio and TV investigative journalist) (2015): “Inside Assange smiles at the media ‘s antics. It underscores his belief, to repeat that old journalistic shibboleth, that large sections of the media don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story” [page 169] … At the heart of Wikileaks’ philosophy was the belief that without accurate information the public was incapable of making informed decisions” [page 171](Andrew Fowler, “The War on Journalism”, Heinemann, 2015, Chapter 8, “Wikileaks” ).
