synopsis
Interview. Announcements by Sw Dhyan John : Mary Catherine, Samya and Subhuti for the Rajneesh Times.
Question 1
(Samya:) Bhagwan, what is the difference between printing negativity and printing freedom of expression?
Question 2
(Samya:) Then how would you make the distinction of who is sick and who is neurotic? Do you mean the person that is writing? We have to make sure that he's not sick or neurotic? How would you make that distinction?
Question 3
(Subhuti:) You have said that freedom of expression is the foundation of democracy, but this newspaper is in the unique situation, because it is part of a community that is being guided by an enlightened master. In the past, anything that was said criticizing the commune, the city and the corporations here, or simply offering an alternative viewpoint, was censored by Sheela and her group on the grounds that it was against your vision. Is there a role for criticism and freedom of expression here, now?
Question 4
(Mary Catherine:) Bhagwan, how can we as journalists inquire into the truth, or what might be the truth, without creating confrontation within the community? And is it possible to be objective in doing that?
