Pembrokeshire news you won't find in the papers.

Real journalism consists of what someone doesn't want published, all the rest is public relations (George Orwell).

"A newspaper is of necessity something of a monopoly, and its first duty is to shun the the temptations of monopoly. Its primary office is the gathering of news. At the peril of its soul it must see that the supply is not tainted. Neither in what it gives, nor it what it does not give nor in the mode of presentation must the unclouded face of truth suffer wrong. Comment is free, but facts are sacred (CP Scott - Editor Manchester Guardian).

Authoritarians have an extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of the man who can fabricate it (Hannah Arendt: Origins of Totalitarianism)

Be you never so high, the law is above you (Lord Denning)

When you're taking flak, you must be over the target (Pat Robinson)
