“You, the media, have one of the most powerful instruments in helping our societies to value the truth” - #Tutu w.wan-ifra.org/articles/2010…
In 2010, despite being retired, #DesmondTutu made a trip to Rhodes University to boost attendees at the World Journalism Education Congress, underlining the importance of their work for quality journalism. People responded by mobbing him for selfies... Salutations Archbishop.
