Faro de Vigo

El periodismo realiza un servicio público de información a la ciudadanía, como derecho universal, además de ejercer de agente fiscalizador respecto a los poderes públicos. Esto es lo que dice la teoría, pero es también lo que ha de demostrarse en la práctica. De ahí la importancia de contar con medios independientes, capaces de enfrentar el ruido que ha tratado —y a veces logrado— de denostar este oficio.
