Jornalismo Pós-Wikileaks: deontologia em tempos de vazamentos globais de informação
Abstract
WikiLeaks is the most potentially transforming journalism since the rise of Twitter. This article discusses the emergence of new operating conditions for journalists from Wikileaks. Reflect on the changes in relationships with sources, and the changes in technique and journalistic ethics. Because WikiLeaks is an example of crossover between the hacker ethic and journalistic ethics, we believe that partnership with the media opens up a growing and irreversible trend, which may help in the process of uncovering information of public interest.
