translated from Spanish: Journalistic exercise: the other battlefront in the pandemic

Pending on the public agenda remains recognition of the substantial role played by the media in the pandemic, in fulfilling its mission of reporting day by day amid such a complicated circumstance. In particular, we owe a tribute to the reporters who, on a daily basis, play health and even life in order to obtain the news, wherever it is, although the use of new technologies allows our work to be carried out responsibly. That’s how it’s been and it’s going to stay. From this trench, we support the tributes received by other labor sectors, whose dedication and sacrifice is laudable, mainly health workers, on the first front, as so much and so fairly has been said. The other battlefront that makes up communication professionals has been, in our very personal opinion, Olympicly ignored by the powerful, those who hold the official public voice. But we know that someone much more important is there, always supportive with us: you, reader friend, reader. Thanks for that. Freedom of Expression Day was celebrated yesterday in Mexico, and we thank those who congratulated us. For our part, we send the guild digital hugs from the confinement of staying at home, with healthy distance and scrupulous hygiene. Congratulations! EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY OF FF.
