A well-balanced, instructive and constructive media that upholds the ideals and principles of democracy is the best defense for Ethiopia and Ethiopians.

Information media, which is well founded and anchored in democratic values and traditions, is one of the most important weapons against totalitarian, fascistic and chauvinistic ideologies, regimes and political organizations.
