[Commlist] New Book: Digital Whistleblowing Platforms in Journalism. Encrypting Leaks

"Digital Whistleblowing Platforms in Journalism. Encrypting Leaks"
Philip Di Salvo (Institute of Media and Journalism (IMeG) - Università 
della Svizzera italiana)
(Palgrave Macmillan, pp. 188)

This book analyzes whistleblowing platforms and the adoption of 
encryption tools in journalism. Whistleblowing platforms are becoming an 
important phenomenon for journalism in this era and offer safer 
solutions for communicating with whistleblowers and obtaining leaks. 
WikiLeaks and the Snowden case have been powerful game changers for 
today’s journalism, showing the potentials of and needs for encryption 
for journalistic purposes, together with the perils of surveillance. 
Whistleblowing platforms are also an interesting example of journalists 
and hackers coming together to support investigations with new tools and 
practices. The book introduces this phenomenon and features a 
qualitative study about whistleblowing platforms and their adoption in 
the journalistic field.
