In the past Wiki Leaks was seen as a fake website that published illegal and altered material, but now they have become so strategic to the media that no matter how hard the media tries they cant break Wiki Leaks.
Julian Assange, WikiLeaks’s founder and guiding spirit, apparently began to understand that scarcity, not ubiquity, drives coverage of events. Instead of just pulling back the blankets for all to see, he began to limit the disclosures to those who would add value through presentation, editing and additional reporting. In a sense, Mr. Assange, a former programmer, leveraged the processing power of the news media to build a story and present it in comprehensible ways. (Of course, as someone who draws a paycheck from a mainstream journalism outfit, it may be no surprise that I continue to see durable value in what we do even amid the journalistic jujitsu Wiki Leaks introduces.)
Wiki Leaks is another way to obtain news, but this is almost an extreme version of journalism. In the beginning, this business had little idea on how to keep their published material without getting it deleted by the government or media. Wiki Leaks publishes videos and articles on confidential material that the government tries hard to keep hidden. This site publishes material on confidential stuff merely for news purposes. they aren't trying to just give out this material and potentially endanger lives, they put out subtle pieces of news enough to satisfy the reader.
