Interesting point, however I am having a hard time coming up with another journalist in this era who reports their findings by dumping information onto bit-torrent.
I'm not objecting to Wikileaks, I'm objecting to Assange calling it journalism.
I've gotten downvoted simply because people are emotional over this -- as if I'm attacking them.
I then read a tonne of definitions of the word "journalism" and to me. They pretty much all just say journalism is getting the facts out there, in any form. There's no requirement for a journalist to make a "report", for it to be journalism.
I would be interested to see more examples of journalism where no report was written.
Unless you have a better reason than "it's different and weird", your objections are just like those of a grumpy old man complaining about the music the youngsters listen to these days.
