Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Upon what appears to have been Golunov's unjust arrest and detention by the police in Moscow, the Russian press united in demanding his release. Largely as a result of the media's stance, which galvanised public opinion in Russia, Golunov's detention ended in a matter of days. It stands as a pristine example of how a free and independent press functions in holding the authorities to account on behalf of the people.

Today in Britain, in grim contrast, we have a mainstream media that operates more along the lines of holding the people to account on behalf of the powerful; the plight of Julian Assange being a case in point.
