Publisher's Synopsis
It would be a mistake to write about someone with whom you have not at least shared a part of your life... This is one of the central themes of A Cynic Wouldnt suit this profession, a book about the work of a journalist, its difficulties and rules, about the responsibilities of the intellectuals who dedicate themselves to information. How should you report poverty, hunger and war? Is ethical motivation necessary to be a good journalist? What relationship exists between reality and how it is told? This book includes an interview from A. Semplici with the writer, in which they discuss the events that led to the emancipation of Africa from colonial domination, and a dialogue with the reporter and art critic John Berger about seeing, understanding and telling.
