There can be no doubt about Julian Assange's prominence among a group of unconventional new actors in the news business that have emerged lately. These are non-profit organisations that are involved in various forms of investigative journalism. As funding for such reporting by traditional media has been cut, they are filling the gap using new methods based on digital technology. Some of them make government information available in order to promote openness, transparency and citizen engagement; some gather and publish information on human-rights abuses; and some specialise in traditional investigative journalism and are funded by philanthropy. And then there is WikiLeaks. Launched in late 2006, it was intended to be an uncensorable Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis. The line between activism and journalism has always been somewhat fuzzy, but has become even fuzzier in the digital age.
