Ask HN: Who are the journalists covering Internet privacy?
Right now there's a lot of attention on NSA, surveillance, and the larger issues of privacy on the web. I'm thankful for that.
But it worries me that it takes something as catastrophic as a John le Carré character like Edward Snowden to bring this all to my attention.
I want to know:
Who covers this stuff in depth on a more consistent basis that I can follow (twitter? tumblr? some blogs?) and how can I support them (with money)? I worry that news sources are increasingly moving to big home run stories and / or reactionary commentary instead of investigative and actionable reporting.
I'd like to find the passionate and dedicated journalists who are devoted to finding important information and then support them. Where do I go?

- quackerhacker 13y agoI follow KPoulsen from wired, on Twitter. Although I do question US media, to explain why, Snowden brought his story to Washington Post first and had to push them to publish by going to The Guardian[0].
