"During the year I have to risk my life under shellfire with bullets and I wouldn’t do that if I didn’t know that what I wrote was going to go in the paper as I write it and to know that my editor will stand up for me against all the ambassadors, against all the institutions, against all the lobby groups, I’ll risk my life for that. I have worked on other papers, I’ve felt editorial pressures and I left them all. The Independent I wouldn’t leave."
Robert Fisk, Commentator, The Independent and The Independent on Sunday
