I find that when dumps of data are released, other journalists go through it and curate it. So, I see WL as making more good journalism possible because there are a lot of curators who do not also have the resources to collect material to curate.


I didn't mean it as a criticism of wikileaks! What they are doing is great!

It's just, the data itself are useless if you don't find some narrative, some story in it.

And, frankly, Assange himself admitted it before that just releasing dumps and hoping for people to find something in it is not the best thing to do.


I understand. I would like if WL developed the resources to curate as well as release entire data sets.
