Cuando Màrius Carol empezó en el periodismo en la vieja redacción de El Noticiero Universal, el humo del tabaco nublaba los ojos, el tecleo de las máquinas de escribir (y del teletipo) martillaba el cerebro y los montones de papeles impedían ver el rostro del periodista de la mesa de enfrente.

En cada una de estas columnas, el autor busca el sentido de los hechos noticiosos que le llegan a la sociedad fragmentarios y los sitúa en un contexto para otorgarles sentido. Confronta su explicación con la audiencia, valora y enjuicia los sucesos, asume una posición. Analiza y reflexiona, para posteriormente calificar positiva o negativamente, sin descalificar.

A pale ray of sunlight seeps through a dusty stained glass window to light a shabby congregation - all kneeling, eyes closed in devout prayer: "Thank you, Lord. Thank you for saving us." The scene is a Fleet Street pub at lunchtime - and, as yet, hardly a drop's been touched. I stand up, cross myself, dust the knees of my corduroy trousers and reach to take a grateful sip of my pint of London Pride. All around me my fellow workers are rising from...
