Investigative Journalism in the Shadow of National Security

What are the consequences of the case against Assange? Will Investigative journalism increasingly become criminalized under the pretext of safeguarding national security?

Ben Wizner is the director of the ACLU’s Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project. For nearly 15 years, he has worked at the intersection of civil liberties and national security and has been the principal legal advisor to Edward Snowden.
