Die Meinungsfreiheit sei dabei, ein «Luxusgut» zu werden, «das in Zukunft nur vermögende Medien werden genießen können», schreibt er in der Ausgabe, die an diesem Mittwoch erscheint. Jede Woche müsse das Blatt allein 15 000 Exemplare verkaufen, nur um die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen für die Redaktionsräume zu bezahlen... Читать дальше...
