Why Whistle-Blowers Must be Opaque

…there is a quotation, from Kurt Tucholsky. It’s actually a title of one of his articles (Tucholsky was a Journalist, poet, book reviews, cabarét texts and novel author. A critical Jew, an extremely brilliant head, btw. some of his quotatoins are absolutely alive and used widely, in German, like the “Soldaten sind Mörder” quotation (soldiers are killers), some of the people using the quotation don’t even know the roots of this quotation, but anyway – his work is highly valued. Of course – everywhere else than e.g. in universities or at least in German language/literature faculties, at least at those of so-called “elite” universities ones.

Anyway. Tucholsky once wrote this article called “Ein Bild sagt mehr als 1000 Worte” (a picture sais more than 1000 words). He was highly interested in photography, in the photography’s early time, when it still was on its way to play a role in print media. (But – as mentioned, he wrote reviews, too. Not only book reviews, he also enjoyed to visit e.g. exhibitions – so, there are some interesting reviews of photography exhibitions, photography as arts – paris – just like the need of them for documentary needs, like in organisations’ exhibitions, for example – some of them he saw in berlin, talking about the 200ies…)

Anyway – yes. But still… I think it might be possible to both – a) mediate the reasons for needed rejection of too curious, self-forgetting journalists’ questoins and b) to discuss the mentioned article (hitting, as we think, the dart board but not really the center of it due to some reasons) using language as medium, too.

There is a beginning of it, in German language, maybe a page visitor is interested to join the talk:
