WikiLeaks is all about shifting the power from the ‘authorities’ to the ‘people’.
Our government has that power. The media has that power. And now, we have power.

Autocratic internally
Democratic externally

Online office – free flow of information, lives forever, copied, ignores barriers of space and time
OLD MEDIA – NEW MEDIA
New media power
“the major force of power at present is communication power”
globalisation of communication
PHENOMENON

Assange: “the rest of the world’s media is doing such a bad job that a little group of activists is able to release more of that type of information than the rest of all those combined”
