What do quality journalism and philosophy have in common? Both disciplines have the task of critical examination, which must not stop at power. To do this, both philosophy and critical journalism must distinguish between deception and facts, lies and truth, and imagination and facts. The philosopher Michel Foucault commented on this: "If we want to be masters of our future, we must ask fundamental questions about today. That is why, for me, philosophy is a kind of radical journalism." Good journalism is radical when it gets to the heart of its time in all its complexity, instead of simplifying it. When the truth emerges and what is a lie, deception, or illusion is criticized and exposed. None of this can happen without presenting facts, but also not without making references and, above all, arguments visible.
