Independent media-focus

1. For a newspaper to function well, it must be independent. The focused team is independent, but there is still considerable resistance to investigating a powerful group. 2. If raising a child requires the support of a village, then destroying a child will have no relationship with the village. Sometimes, the whole society is responsible. 3. The church is the church, and faith is faith. The guilt of the clergy does not affect the faith. 4. It is useless to point out individual problems. The problem lies in exposing the entire system. To find the root cause of the problem, carry out a complete eradication. The church in Boston sheltered priests from sexually assaulting children. Focus magazine conducted investigations, interviewed victims, interviewed lawyers, interviewed courts, interviewed perpetrators, and must fight resolutely with church forces, expose the truth, and give justice to the victims.

Spotlight quotes

  • Sacha Pfeiffer: Does Jack Dunn work for the school?

    Walter 'Robby' Robinson: No, he's PR for Boston College. They call him when they need help.

    Sacha Pfeiffer: And Pete Conley, why-why was he there?

    Walter 'Robby' Robinson: Good question. Pete's a big alum. But I called Bill directly and I asked for a sit-down. I never mentioned anybody else.

    Sacha Pfeiffer: It's like everybody already knows the story.

    Walter 'Robby' Robinson: [indicating the Globe building across the street] Yeah. Except us. And we work right there.

  • Jack Dunn: I graduated in 1979, and I had no idea about any of this. So if you're suggesting that Father Gibbons and Father Callahan had in any way...

    Walter 'Robby' Robinson: Gibbons and Callahan. I mean, they ran this place like the Navy. You really think they didn't know?

    Jack Dunn: It's a big school, Robby. You know that. A-And we're talking about seven alleged victims over, what, eight years?

    Walter 'Robby' Robinson: No, we're talking about, you know, seven that we know about.

    Jack Dunn: This is ridiculous. You're reaching for a story here.

    Principal Bill Kemeza: Jack. Jack, Jack. If I had been president then, I would've known.

    Jack Dunn: Bill, I'm not sure that's relevant.

    Principal Bill Kemeza: Why do you think they sent Talbot up to Cheverus? You know they wanted him out of town.

    Pete Conley: Robby, as well-intentioned as Bill's remarks are, I'm hoping we can keep this between us until we all get on the same page.

    Walter 'Robby' Robinson: Is that why we're here, to get on the same page?
