Produktbeschreibung
Revelations published by the whistleblower platform WikiLeaks, including the releases of U.S. diplomatic cables in what became referred to as 'Cablegate', put WikiLeaks into the international spotlight and sparked intense about the role and impact of leaks in a digital era. Beyond WikiLeaks opens a space to reflect on the broader implications across political and media fields, and on the transformations that result from new forms of leak journalism and transparency activism. A select group of renowned scholars, international experts, and WikiLeaks 'insiders' discuss the consequences of the WikiLeaks saga for traditional media, international journalism, freedom of expression, policymaking, civil society, social change, and international politics. From short insider reports to elaborate and theoretically informed academic texts, the different chapters provide critical assessments of the current historical juncture of our mediatized society and offer outlooks of the future. Authors include, amongst others, Harvard University's Yochai Benkler, Graham Murdoch of Loughborough University, net activism scholar, Gabriella Coleman, the Director for International Freedom of Expression at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Jillian York, and Guardian editor, Chris Elliott. The book also includes a conversation between philosopher, Slavoj Zizek, and WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, and its prologue is written by Birgitta Jónsdóttir, Icelandic MP and editor of the WikiLeaks video, `Collateral Murder`.

Rezensionen
"The book is a good source of academic knowledge on journalism ethics, whistle-blowing, and communication generally, and it also gives us firsthand descriptions of the inner workings of WikiLeaks from people who were actually involved in the group's activities. ... The book is a timely and important read, especially since it examines a very important issue of debate in journalism and communication generally." (Ayodeji Awobamise, International Journal of Communication, Vol. 10, 2016)

"Benedetta Brevini, Arne Hintz, and Patrick McCurdy have drawn together scholars interested in the ways WikiLeaks has altered power dynamics in society, its political effects, and the way it has disrupted traditional journalism, while also bringing in familiar (or involved) voices from the WikiLeaks narrative. ... Beyond WikiLeaks offers scholars who work in these areas a broadernarrative and a way to avoid WikiLeaks being set aside as something of a moment." (Scott Eldridge II, Digital Journalism, Vol. 3 (1), 2015)
