Journalist? The sort of information he publishes, his timing and the people he chooses to defend make him nothing more than a political activist.
It's not difficult to see why: he has broken laws and is now stuck in a cage and the only way to get out of it is to cosy up to the politician who is most likely to pardon him.

- not_weev 8y agoHow do such tactics differ from the Washington Post, New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC? Are those operations not journalists? Assange is in a cage because, after being cleared of any wrongdoing vis-a-vis the sexual assault complaints, a "special prosecutor" decided she had to speak to him in person, i.e. get him in a venue subject to U.S. extradition.
