Your take: the importance (or danger) of Wikileaks

The World

You’ve been weighing in all week on Wikileaks ? from worries and anger about the danger of secret information becoming public, to the idea of freedom of the press.

Tamera writes on our site:

It’s freedom of information. Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. All administrations have promised to be open with the public but have not done so. It takes freedom to stand up to the government.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
