Why Rosebud?
In the 1941 movie classic Citizen Kane, Kane finds himself inheriting a newspaper. A man driven by principles and integrity, he's shocked to find that most news doesn't get reported with censorship and filtering only allowing a small select number of stories to make it to print.
Kane doesn't believe this is the fair and so publishes a set of principles that the paper will live by. The principles set out that the news will be honest and will not serve any special interest. The people will hear the truth, whatever it may be. Kane's dying words were Rosebud, the name of his childhood sledge which signified to him a simpler time when he was free and not caught in a world of agendas, politics and special interests.
