  • Abstract: (Text of the academic year 1999-2000 opening lesson of the Journalism Studies at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra). The author, currently assistant manager of the newspaper El país, unfolds a reflexion about how private and state-owned communication media behave, and about the attitude their professionals take towards the search for truth, as the central aim of their tasks. The author frames this question in the context of the loss of credibility, a very different context from 25 years ago, whwn a journalist had prestige and embodied the principes of a society just awaken from franquist nightmare with a spirit of freedom of information, as well as impressed by the power of the Wattergate affair.
