NSA: Jeder ist automatisch schuldig, bis seine Unschuld bewiesen ist Thomas Andrews Drake ist ein ehemaliger Angestellter der US Air Force und später der Geheimdienste Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) und National Security Agency (NSA). Er arbeitete bei der NSA als Experte für Softwaretests und veröffentlichte als Whistleblower interne Informationen über das Projekt Trailblazer. Im Jahr 2010 wurde er als Spion angeklagt, ein Jahr später erhielt er den Ridenhour Truth-Telling Preis. In einem Interview mit RussiaToday (siehe unten) sagte Drake, Sicherheit sei gewissermaßen zu einer "Staatsreligion" geworden, die man besser nicht hinterfragen sollte. Keine Sorge wegen abgehörten Telefonleitungen? Seit Jahren wird argumentiert, derartige Missstände könnten nicht öffentlich behandelt werden, weil die lückenlose Überwachung der eigenen Bevölkerung nicht bekannt gegeben werden dürfe. Laut Drake habe das Weiße Haus mit der NSA eine Übereinkunft getroffen, wonach die NSA den Staat nach den Vorkommnissen des 11. Video: Interview von Russia Today mit Thomas A.

Infomous Research Trends: Special Focus, The Arts & Humanities The Arts & Humanities include a diverse range of subjects, including many of the oldest intellectual pursuits such as Philosophy, Religion, Music, History, Art, Theatre and Literature. These disciplines, along with fields such as Language, Linguistics and the History of Science, share a common concern with humanity and culture. This mutual interest means that we can expect much of the research in the Arts & Humanities to bridge disparate fields, in much the same way as modern scientific research increasingly links traditionally separate disciplines. One method for investigating this multidisciplinarity of research is to look at the citation links formed between journals when a paper published in one journal makes reference to a paper published in another. The Arts & Humanities landscape The Arts & Humanities as a subject area is only rarely the focus of bibliometric analyses, due to a common emphasis within the bibliometric community on citation analysis.

Data visualizations in journalism are often influenced by fields such as computer sciences and mathematics. A New “Visual Grammar” in Journalism Connected China
