Los cínicos no sirven para este oficio

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 Wouldn´t 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.” / Este es un libro sobre el trabajo del periodista, sobre sus dificultades y sus reglas, sobre la responsabilidad de los intelectuales que, hoy día, se dedican a la información. ¿Cómo contar la pobreza, el hambre, las guerras? ¿Es imprescindible tener motivaciones éticas para ser un buen periodista? ¿Qué relación existe entre realidad y narración? ¿Cómo moverse entre la investigación de la verdad y los condicionamientos del poder?
