Brussels Leaks Localeaks: A Drop-Box for Anonymous Tips to 1400 U.S. Newspapers Although the mission of WikiLeaks is to "open governments," it's done quite a lot to make us think about how to open journalism as well. We've seen a number of new whistleblower sites crop up - OpenLeaks and Rospil, for example - as well as major news organizations - Al Jazeera, and perhaps even The New York Times - investigate ways to facilitate more whistle-blowing and leaking. But why wait for local newspapers to roll out their own anonymous tips pipeline when a project from CUNY Graduate School's Entrepreneurial Journalism program has designed just that thing. Using Localeaks, you can send an anonymous tip, including a file, to over 1400 newspapers in the U.S. through one online form. Choose your state. Each drop-box consists of a secure web connection and a form that encrypts both files and the text submitted (then destroys the originals) as well as removes identifying metadata from documents. Once a file is submitted, the newspaper will receive an email, alerting them to the tip.

One tactic to cope with the fear of exposure and overexposure is anonymity. Anonymity has its place. But anonymity is often the cloak of cowards. Real identity has improved the tone and tenor of interaction online. Zuckerberg believes we have one authentic identity and says it is becoming “less and less true” that people will maintain separate identities. What needs to change is not so much our behavior, our rules, or our technology but, again, our norms: how we operate as a society and interact with each other. There are two forces at work here: identity and reputation. Marilyn Monroe was a public figure but most of us are private citizens. These are new skills for everyone, celebrity and commoner alike.
