But let's not spend too long wondering whether Julian Assange is anyone's idea of a perfect Christmas house guest, for there are other nominated heroes in the great WikiLeaking saga.</p><p>It's a shame that &quot;more medals aren't being pinned on the chest&quot; of those who actually obtained the data, David Leigh of the <em>Guardian</em> told a <em>Times</em> reporter. And it's a shame, too, that Leigh himself isn't getting his fair share of praise either.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/dec/19/david-leigh-wikileaks">Continue reading...</a> Newspapers & magazines WikiLeaks Julian Assange Tony Gallagher Media Sun, 19 Dec 2010 00:06:36 GMT http://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/dec/19/david-leigh-wikileaks Graham Turner/Guardian David Leigh turned raw data from WikiLeaks into brilliant storytelling.

Not exactly: it is a magistrates court, lowest in the pecking order of courts, so decisions do not bind other courts. However, his decision may be persuasive of other courts, especially other magistrates. The sky did not fall in as a result of yesterday's tweeting, so why not allow it again? For the decision to gain wider acceptance we really need a crown court judge or high court judge to follow suit.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/law/2010/dec/15/tweeting-court-reporters-julian-assange">Continue reading...</a> Law Media Twitter Julian Assange Technology WikiLeaks Media law Wed, 15 Dec 2010 15:03:48 GMT http://www.theguardian.com/law/2010/dec/15/tweeting-court-reporters-julian-assange Andy Rain/EPA The media outside the Julian Assange hearing during which reporters were allowed to tweet.

Media groups will have to decide next year http://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/dec/13/open-closed-platforms-media Content delivery, free access and open discussion vie with the need to make a profit<p>Hugo Grotius, a Dutch politician and philosopher, published Mare Liberum 401 years ago. In the first age of global navigation and imperialism, his argument was that the sea belonged to everybody for fishing and trading purposes and also for nicking booty from the Spanish and Portuguese. Although not every theory stems from the most noble of purposes, the idea was important, representing the beginnings of international law. But it was the essential point about the need for openness as new markets and frontiers emerge that seems increasingly relevant in the midst of this week's hacker v MasterCard digital 1968.</p><p>Coldblood, the 23-year-old hacker from Anonymous, may have given a poor answer to Evan Davis on Today when he said &quot;don't know&quot; in answer to a question about his political beliefs, but it was not surprising to hear him cite the open source software developer Linus Torvalds as one of his heroes. There is, now, a mighty battle raging between closed and open approaches online, the defining clash hitting media and technology next year.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/dec/13/open-closed-platforms-media">Continue reading...</a> Digital media Paywalls WikiLeaks BBC Newspapers & magazines Media Mon, 13 Dec 2010 07:00:01 GMT http://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/dec/13/open-closed-platforms-media Chris Ratcliffe/Getty An open or shut case?

Discuss ...<p>Be clear, right from the start. Any editor presented with a quarter of a million US State Department documents on a WikiLeaks plate has a duty to sift, check and publish. Newspapers exist to get news into print, not shilly-shally around as pompous (and, alas, often American) champions of the public's right not to know too much. And if, thus far, the most unexpected story of the lot is Washington's inability to keep its diplomatic traffic secret, that's a public service, too.</p><p>But clarity, of course, strays into moral mazes as it goes along. The multimedia boss of the <em>Daily Mirror</em> talks about phone hacking in his blog and wonders whether handling hundreds of thousands of stolen memos is really any different. Other bloggers join the chorus. You wait, perhaps, for the Information Commissioner to decide that what Mervyn King told the American ambassador about Messrs Cameron and Osborne (or what Prince Andrew told a noisy dinner party somewhere in the middle of Asia) is information he thinks should be shielded from view.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/dec/05/wikileaks-julian-assange-phone-hackers">Continue reading...</a> WikiLeaks Hacking Newspapers & magazines Media Sun, 05 Dec 2010 00:06:00 GMT http://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/dec/05/wikileaks-julian-assange-phone-hackers Andrew Winning/Reuters Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, with a front page of the Guardian.

WikiLeaks, the stateless site of secret data, seems like an information source turned irresistible force. And the <em>Guardian</em>, <em>New York Times</em> and <em>Spiegel</em> did a brilliant editing job last week as they <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/series/afghanistan-the-war-logs" title="Guardian: Afghanistan war logs">took nearly 92,000 classified documents</a> from WikiLeaks.org and turned them into a compelling commentary on the failures of the Afghan war. This is what journalism and data-handling in the 21st century may turn out to be all about.</p><p>But now, as with anything new, for a couple of problems. First, the question of what happened next. We're talking impact, consequences, the difference that revelations can make. And scratching our heads.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/aug/01/afghan-war-wikileaks-press-comment">Continue reading...</a> Newspapers & magazines Media Afghanistan WikiLeaks World news US national security United States Sat, 31 Jul 2010 23:05:05 GMT http://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/aug/01/afghan-war-wikileaks-press-comment Sean Smith/Guardian US marines take cover as they come under fire during while on patrol.
