The Julian Assange Case and the Future of Journalism

KPFA - Project Censored

Eleanor Goldfield is joined on this week’s program with a special guest co-host: Maximillian Alvarez, Editor-in-Chief at the Real News Network. Their subject is the Julian Assange case and its implications for press freedom going forward. Their guests provide a recap of the case and new information on why the U.S. abandoned its years-long effort to extradite Assange from the UK and instead agreed to a plea bargain under which the Wikileaks founder was freed.

GUESTS:

Chip Gibbons is Policy Director at Defending Rights and Dissent, www.rightsanddissent.org.

Kevin Gosztola is the editor of the Dissenter newsletter, www.thedissenter.org. His book on the Julian Assange case, Guilty of Journalism, was published in 2023.
