Description
From an acclaimed independent journalist, this carefully-documented analysis of the governments case against Julian Assange and its implications for press freedom acts as a crucial, compelling guidebook to Assanges upcoming trial.
Guilty of Journalism is a joint production of The Censored Press and Seven Stories Press.
The legal action against Julian Assange is poised to culminate in a trial in the United States in 2023, and this book will help the public understand the proceedings. The establishment medias coverage of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assanges extradition case has focused on his deteriorating health and what CBS News called his secret family, but most of this coverage failed to detail the complex issues at stake against Assange. Guilty of Journalism outlines how WikiLeaks exposed the reality of American wars, the United States governments unprecedented indictment against Assange as a publisher, and the medias role in persuading the public to shoot the messenger.
This new book by Kevin Gosztola, who has spent the last decade covering Assange, WikiLeaks, and the wider war on whistleblowers, tells the full story based on testimony from dozens of witnesses. It examines abuses of power by the CIA and the FBI, including a spying operation that targeted Assanges family, lawyers, and doctors. Guilty of Journalism offers a balanced and comprehensive perspective on all the events leading up to what press freedom advocates have called the trial of the century.
