The data revolution: How WikiLeaks is changing journalism
The controversy surrounding WikiLeaks' historic release of more
than 70,000 classified US military documents on the war in
Afghanistan has not died down.
But one thing is certain: online data and its dissemination is
changing journalism and the relationship betwen public and
power.
In this special event, we ask:
-- How are organisations like WikiLeaks changing the way public
data is released?
-- What do the Afghan War Logs mean for the mainstream media and
government media relations?
-- What are the legal implications of the War Logs files'
release?
Joining us on this panel are: Julian Assange, WikiLeaks
editor-in-chief (via online link up); journalist, academic and
freedom of expression activist Heather Brooke, whose successful
campaigning led to the full release of MPs' expenses files; media
lawyer Mark Stephens of Finers, Stephens Innocent and Simon Rogers,
editor of The Guardian's Datablog.
Chaired by Paddy O'Connell, the presenter of BBC Radio 4's
Broadcasting House.
