What I like most in this book by Victor Gentilli is the passion with
which it was written - passion, yes, but not divorced from rationality.
It can appear antithetic, but it isn’t. Note that there is passion because
the book has a basic assumption: the belief in journalism, in its vitality,
in its real existence. But it has rationality because it wants to prove, by
reason and by practice, this existence, as Luiz Martins points out well
in his preface to the work, appear not to believe any more in journalism
and/or, above all, in its social role
