Hi all Please see below the details of a new and exciting book on Wikileaks which might be of interest to some people on the list. Best wishes, Shani "WikiLeaks: News In The Networked Era" by Charlie Beckett (Polity, January 15th 2012) This is the first full-length analysis of WikiLeaks that examines its significance from its inception in 2006 to the final leaks of late 2011 and Julian Assange's legal battle with the authorities. Written with former WikiLeaks researcher and now Guardian journalist James Ball it gives the history of WikiLeaks and sets out its challenge to mainstream media and politics. It examines WikiLeaks' ethical, editorial and political relationship with its mainstream collaborators as an example of networked journalism. It sets WikiLeaks within the wider context of changing political communications and the role of social media in recent protest and revolutionary movements and asks whether WikiLeaks is a sustainable or desirable model for disruptive journalism. Charlie Beckett was a journalist at the BBC and ITN's Channel 4 News before becoming the director of Polis, the LSE's journalism think-tank. He is the author of SuperMedia (Blackwell, 2008) Please access the attached hyperlink for an important electronic communications disclaimer: http://lse.ac.uk/emailDisclaimer
