Aidan White Press Quotations

What we have seen is a brutal and violent assault on press freedom. It is an unspeakable affront to democracy when a government turns to violence to stifle the voice of its media critics.

What we have seen is a brutal and violent assault on press freedom.

There can be no press freedom when journalists exist in conditions of corruption, poverty and fear.
