Ethics - Luis Carlino

I also joined at 21 in Buenos Aires, mutated overnight from penniless philosophy student to well paid journalist and three years later was covering the Canal Treaty negotiations from Panama [The Reuter Society - Brian Cathcart: My debt to Reuters]. A few years later, when colleagues like Brian or Harvey Morris were going on to higher-flying things, I thought “where else in this business can I, as long as I have two sources, bring down a government and go to sleep soundly without worrying about what the government, the shareholders, the advertisers, etc, etc will think? And so, 40 years on, I’m still around. ■
