Our mirrors are an attempt to recover our stolen images and an attempt to recover the reflections of our features. It is a victory for the value of beauty that has been colonized by ugliness. Beauty as an action is possible within the geographies of journalism in which “buzz” and “click” became its creed, and “scandal” and “urgent” became its language. It is an attempt to triumph over the meaning of journalism, which believes in professionalism and adheres to its rituals, without this meaning bowing to the logic of ugliness that makes triviality a value, and snooping on the individual freedoms of people, and justifying the “people” searching for an audience and “more customers,” a law. New, equipped with all the meanings of beauty and freedom that journalism existed to defend and thanks to which it existed. Our mirrors are a new experience that seeks to break with existing behaviors and mentalities that have made journalism a commodity subject to the logic of the market and the laws of supply and demand and to commit all paths leading to profit. Our mirrors do not want to break with such behaviors and mentalities. They want more than that. They simply want to prove that belonging to the journalism profession is still possible, as is hope. Before the news is sacred, it has, in essence, a meaning. The news cannot live by killing its meaning. The news is not synonymous with invading people's intimacy and private lives. It is not synonymous with prosecuting individual actions that concern only the perpetrator. It is not synonymous with exposing individuals' diaries, beliefs, practices, and personal inclinations that do not harm others or impose an idea on them. The news is simply what concerns everyone's present and affects their future. It is what traces the trace of ugliness, in order to create from it a possible beauty that triumphs for the individual and gives the group all possible opportunities for coexistence. In our mirrors, we will view ugliness as an opportunity to create beauty, we will view religion as an opportunity for freedom, we will view politics as an opportunity to restore its founding meaning, to restore the meaning of struggling for an idea, for a cause. We will look at society as a possible space to accommodate our differences and disagreements, and as an opportunity for a tomorrow that we dream of as possible and capable of creating a sentence of pure freedom without conditionals or exception letters. We will look at culture as a common foundation for our human richness. For this reason, our mirrors will be professional and impartial. It will be professional, by championing the meaning of news, the identity and DNA of journalism, the duty to inform and empowering the reader with his right to information that respects his intelligence and that has its legitimacy and the reason for its existence, by being news or an event of interest to public affairs, and the common one that determines the individual’s place within a public space, the geography of rights. Its limits are freedom. Our mirrors will not be neutral. Journalism, as our mirrors embrace it, is neither a cold sentence nor a commodity looking for customers. It is not professional laziness that seeks help from the lie of meeting the desires of my audience
