Rezensionen
"This is a genuinely outstanding collection of crisply written, thoroughly argued and well-sourced essays on a landmark information policy and freedom case. Internationally known writers and dynamic younger researchers join forces to address WikiLeaks' pivotal issues for the Internet era." - John D.H. Downing, Editor, Sage Encyclopedia of Social Movement Media "Benedetta Brevini, Arne Hintz and Patrick McCurdy have assembled a truly impressive international range of authors to interrogate some key questions of our age: does WikiLeaks represent a decisively new way of representing the world? If so, does this signal a new way of doing politics? In whose long-term interests, and with what consequences for democratic cultures? This is a landmark collection." - Nick Couldry, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK "This book traces the paradigm shift that WikiLeaks has brought for freedom of expression, the role of the media, and grassroots activism. It is a powerful intervention into the struggle for a free and open Internet and features authoritative contributions by a prestigious collection of academics, activists and public intellectuals who understand what is at stake." - Marc Raboy, Beaverbrook Chair in Ethics, Media and Communications, McGill University, Canada "The WikiLeaks complex of information, events, networks, and people provides a focus for the current transformation of law-state-society relations. This book's superb entree into many of the myriad faces of the WikiLeaks moment tells us what should be our attendant attentions, our research agendas." - Sandra Braman, Professor of Communication, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA…mehr
"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)
