[1]    The press is sometimes called the fourth estate. That

is probably too grandiose a concept for most journalists’ tastes

— but it does suggest an important, coherent and independent

[4] force in society. That “apartness” is crucial. The press does not

share the same aims as those of government, the legislature, the

executive, religion or commerce. It is, or should be, an outsider.

[7]    Stanley Baldwin did not intend it as a compliment

when he said of newspapers in 1931 that they had “power

without responsibility”. But, in fact, that lack of responsibility

[10] is one of the important respects in which the press is

different. Of course, the press must be responsible for its own

standards and ethics. But it is not the job of journalists to run

[13] things: they are literally without responsibility. They don’t have

to respond to a party whip, make the compromises necessary in

politics or answer to shareholders. They are not bound by the

[16] confidentiality agreements that bind others. They are careless

of causing inconvenience or embarrassment. They do not have

to win votes. They can write things — about the economy, say,

[19] or the environment — which may need saying but which are

unsayable by politicians. They come from a different place.
