In their destinies, one can find both benevolence and severity on the part of the authorities.
Tehran, Yalta, Potsdam - they did not fall from the sky. Anyway, they wrote in the Constitution: universal, equal, direct elections, - with (under) secret (confidential) voting.
But here comes a joyful moment: the construction of a truly legal state begins. And one of the main defenders of democratic values is participating in the elections ... according to the quota ...
And who is a journalist? This is a person who writes about something important and interesting. In the case of social journalism, he approves of the positive, he criticizes the shortcomings.
And in some cases, representatives of the authorities listen to him.
He clearly sees how the problems he described are being solved.
And if he doesn't see it, then he prepares a request from the editorial office to the relevant state body: he asks how things are going?
Sometimes journalists are invited to semi-confidential meetings.
If a journalist's nephew releases toilet paper or sews underpants, then there will be no conversation about underpants or toilet paper at a semi-confidential meeting. Nevertheless, it is clear to everyone that if he is invited, then he is a valuable person, and since he can personally contact (meet) an influential person, then he is an influential person.
And the nephew, togather with his underpants and toilet paper, suddenly feels himself much more comfortable.
But we must not forget about Archpriest Avvakum, about Radishchev, about Chaadaev... about Sakharov...
Life is changeable. So you need to seize the moment: create a Narrow-profile Union of Journalists and ask for a corporative (collective) holiday home on the riverbank, next to the forest and not far from the capital.
But what about the opportunity to convey information to an influential person from "a first-hand"!?
Well, not from the first, but from the second-hand.
A brave man tried to convey information "from first-hand", so he got into big trouble.
Although, it seems, without meetings with journalists, it is much more convenient to receive information not from second-hand, but from the first.
And then what are their publications for (how to use them?) - if journalists are able to convey information to the right people in a semi-confidential mode?
This is a dark matter - European civilizational values with local specifics. A lot of soap is required, but it may still be not enough. You won't be able to wash off yourself in full (to provide your full clearness).
So you need to ask, ask, ask. To request, to request, to request. And do not be petty: (1) a mansion in the center of the capital - for headquarters, (2) rations-scholarships, (3) corporative (collective) holiday homes: near the capital, on the shore of the Lake Baikal, on the Pacific Ocean.
For effective journalistic work, appropriate material (financial) conditions are needed.
