Abstract
Journalists have changed. They are losing their instinct for the real problem, their willingness to criticise authority and their sensitivity for human rights. Gone is their concern for quality or being unique : speed alone is their measure. Hence the excessive competition. Further, mass media that rely on the Correspondents' Club system can easily become an organ of the authorities. The future of the mass media depends on the universities' ability to raise up journalists with an acute sensitivity for human rights and the courage to fight for them.
