We are in a unique and pressure organisation. I see the free press under pressure. I see the weaponisation. I think we've got a fight for our journalism. I'm really proud of our work. I'm fiercely proud of this organisation. There are difficult times it goes through, but it just does good work. That speaks it speaks louder than any newspaper. Any weaponisation.
