WIKILEAKS PHENOMENA
12 Theses on Wikileaks - Le Monde diplomatique - English edition
Disclosures and leaks have been a feature of all times, but never before has a non state- or non- corporate affiliated group done this at the scale Wikileaks managed to with first the ‘collateral murder video’, then the ‘Afghan War Logs’ and now ‘Cablegate’. It looks like we have now reached the moment that the quantitative leap is morphing into a qualitative one. When Wikileaks hit the mainstream early in 2010, this was not yet the case. In a sense, the ‘colossal’ Wikileaks disclosures can simply be explained as a consequence of the dramatic spread of IT usage, together with a dramatic drop in its costs, including those for the storage of millions of documents. Another contributing factor is the fact that safekeeping state and corporate secrets - never mind private ones - has become rather difficult in an age of instant reproducibility and dissemination.Plus que la transparence, WikiLeaks pose la question du fonctionnement de la machinerie diplomatique. Pour Jean-Noël Lafargue, cela vient renforcer un climat de méfiance généralisée. Retour en quatre articles sur le "CableGate". Voilà, c’est fait, WikiLeaks a effectivement entamé la diffusion des centaines de télégrammes diplomatiques qui lui ont été transmis et, comme prévu, on s’affole un peu partout.

I have to say what nearly fifty thousand Twitter followers already know : nobody does a better job of following and writing about what’s going on in journalism than Jay Rosen . The dude just nails it, over and over and over again. His latest, From Judith Miller to Julian Assange: Our press somehow got itself on the wrong side of secrecy after September 11th , puts the whole Wikileaks matter in the the closest thing we have to an objective view.

I'M AWARE of your need to stay anonymous, but I have to be able to describe the scope of this movement. Can any of you tell me where you're typing from? I am talking to members of a group called “Anonymous”, using a web-based collaborative text-editing service. It is the first such interview for all of us, and their answers begin to collide on the page. One member comes from Norway; another shows surprise, then offers that she is from New Zealand. Another writes that group members come from Nepal and Eastern Russia.
