Edward Snowden's release of classified NSA documents exposed the
widespread government practice of mass surveillance in a democratic
society. The publication of these documents, facilitated by three
journalists, as well as efforts to criminalize the act of being a
whistleblower or source, signaled a new era in the coverage of
national security reporting. The contributors to Journalism After
Snowden analyze the implications of the Snowden affair for
journalism and the future role of the profession as a watchdog for
the public good. Integrating discussions of media, law,
surveillance, technology, and national security, the book offers a
timely and much-needed assessment of the promises and perils for
journalism in the digital age. Journalism After Snowden is
essential reading for citizens, journalists, and academics in
search of perspective on the need for and threats to investigative
journalism in an age of heightened surveillance. The book features
contributions from key players involved in the reporting of leaks
of classified information by Edward Snowden, including Alan
Rusbridger, former editor-in-chief of The Guardian; ex-New York
Times executive editor Jill Abramson; legal scholar and journalist
Glenn Greenwald; and Snowden himself. Other contributors include
dean of Columbia Graduate School of Journalism Steve Coll, Internet
and society scholar Clay Shirky, legal scholar Cass Sunstein, and
journalist Julia Angwin. Topics discussed include protecting
sources, digital security practices, the legal rights of
journalists, access to classified data, interpreting journalistic
privilege in the digital age, and understanding the impact of the
Internet and telecommunications policy on journalism. The
anthology's interdisciplinary nature provides a comprehensive
overview and understanding of how society can protect the press and
ensure the free flow of information.
