WikiLeaks, Whistleblowing and Global Revolution

On Oct. 26, 2011, RevolutionTruth hosted a live panel discussion with Birgitta Jónsdóttir, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, Trevor Timm, Arturo Filasto, Kevin Gosztola, & Alexa O'Brien.

WikiLeaks has opened up immense possibilities for the future of whistleblowing, for forcing increased transparency in institutions, and for transforming the landscape of journalism. Yet their work and their nature force us to tackle paradoxical and intransigent issues and difficult questions, such as: Who guards the gatekeepers? How do we restore accountability to powerful organizations and institutions? How do governments balance transparency with the need for some measure of secrecy? How do we protect those who bring the public dangerous truths? Most critically, in an arena of increasing information warfare and global unrest, how do we ensure viable, long-lasting change arises out of both Wikileaks' revelations and global uprisings?

Enjoy this lively discussion with six far-flung individuals who are dedicating their lives to answering these questions, and more.
