Reviews
The book is a good source of academic knowledge on journalism ethics, whistle-blowing, and communication generally, and it also gives us firsthand descriptions of the inner workings of WikiLeaks from people who were actually involved in the group's activities. ... The book is a timely and important read, especially since it examines a very important issue of debate in journalism and communication generally. (Ayodeji Awobamise, International Journal of Communication, Vol. 10, 2016)

If so, does this signal a new way of doing politics? In whose long-term interests, and with what consequences for democratic cultures? This is a landmark collection. - Nick Couldry, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK
