Revelations published by the whistleblower platform WikiLeaks,
including the releases of U.S. diplomatic cables in what became
referred to as 'Cablegate', put WikiLeaks into the international
spotlight and sparked intense about the role and impact of leaks in
a digital era. Beyond WikiLeaks opens a space to reflect on the
broader implications across political and media fields, and on the
transformations that result from new forms of leak journalism and
transparency activism. A select group of renowned scholars,
international experts, and WikiLeaks 'insiders' discuss the
consequences of the WikiLeaks saga for traditional media,
international journalism, freedom of expression, policymaking,
civil society, social change, and international politics. From
short insider reports to elaborate and theoretically informed
academic texts, the different chapters provide critical assessments
of the current historical juncture of our mediatized society and
offer outlooks of the future. Authors include, amongst others,
Harvard University's Yochai Benkler, Graham Murdoch of Loughborough
University, net activism scholar, Gabriella Coleman, the Director
for International Freedom of Expression at the Electronic Frontier
Foundation, Jillian York, and Guardian editor, Chris Elliott. The
book also includes a conversation between philosopher, Slavoj
Zizek, and WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, and its prologue is
written by Birgitta Jonsdottir, Icelandic MP and editor of the
WikiLeaks video, Collateral Murder.
