WikiLeaks Creates Scientific Journalism




On Fox News show Studio B with Shepard Smith it was revealed that Julian Assange, WikiLeaks creator, wrote a piece for an Australian publication where he says that he has created a new form of journalism called "scientific journalism." He also compares himself to Daniel Ellsberg, but not before he makes mention that he wants to be like Rupert Murdoch.

In The Australian he writes:

"WikiLeaks coined a new type of journalism: scientific journalism. We work with other media outlets to bring people the news, but also to prove it is true. Scientific journalism allows you to read a news story, then to click online to see the original document it is based on. That way you can judge for yourself: Is the story true? Did the journalist report it accurately?"

More information will be provided as is released.
