I'm not objecting to Wikileaks, I'm objecting to Assange calling it journalism.
I've gotten downvoted simply because people are emotional over this -- as if I'm attacking them.
- petitmiam 14y agoI was glad you raised the question, as I had the same thought as you at first. That just cutting and pasting some documents is not journalism. I then read a tonne of definitions of the word "journalism" and to me. They pretty much all just say journalism is getting the facts out there, in any form. There's no requirement for a journalist to make a "report", for it to be journalism. I would be interested to see more examples of journalism where no report was written.
