(EDITORS’ NOTE: We are deviating from our usual presentation of the location of our Editorial. This week, we prominently feature the Bohol Tribune’s editorial as our teaser number 7. The Editorial Board feels that this piece, which represents the collective opinion of the editors, deserves a lofty treatment. Thus, we are placing a core paragraph of the editorial prominently on the front page and continued, with its full text, on its usual page – see on editorial)
The Bohol Tribune will soon have its counterpart in the airwaves. While other media organizations welcome this development, a few seem to move heaven and earth to prevent its first broadcast. We always believe that the marketplace of ideas should be kept free and open to any interested participant, with no unnecessary burdens imposed on whoever wants to venture into the advocacy of ferreting out the truth and improving public policy and governance.
