Description
The WikiLeaks Iraq and Afghanistan war logs—and now the roll out of diplomatic cables—are having an enormous impact on journalism. On December 16, 2010, the Nieman Foundation for Journalism convened a group of reporters and editors along with other watchdog experts for a one-day conference. “From Watergate to WikiLeaks: Journalism and Secrecy in the New Media Age” explored how secrets are investigated, shared and filtered (or not) in an era of self-publishing, online whistle-blowing, data mining and social media websites. Participants discussed journalism’s role—what it traditionally has been and what it can or should be in this new environment.

Customer Reviews
Journalism
It is refreshing to me to hear how the people are being kept ignorant of facts dealing with our approach to freedom of the press. Of course most of us knew this was and is going on but to hear this fact from those in the news media was most encouraging. Thank you.
