Wikileaks
According to TIME Magazine, Wikileaks.org “… could become as important a journalistic tool as the Freedom of Information Act.” Wikileaks is a repository of leaked documents — “classified, censored or otherwise restricted material of political, diplomatic or ethical significance,” according to their submissions policy — from confidential inside sources, shedding light on the hidden workings (and intentions) of governments, institutions, and the forces that shape the lives of people around the globe. Possibly the ultimate resource for citizen journalists and activists, investigative reporters who focus on repressive actions by governments worldwide, and anyone interested in finding out the truth behind the illusion of official public policy.
