From an acclaimed independent journalist this carefully-documented analysis of the
government’s case against Julian Assange and its implications for press freedom acts as a
crucial compelling guidebook to Assange’s upcoming trial.Guilty of Journalism is a joint
production of The Censored Press and Seven Stories Press. The legal action against Julian
Assange is poised to culminate in a trial in the United States in 2023 and this book will help
the public understand the proceedings. The establishment media's coverage of WikiLeaks founder
Julian Assange's extradition case has focused on his deteriorating health and what CBS News
called his secret family ” but most of this coverage failed to detail the complex issues at
stake against Assange. Guilty of Journalism outlines how WikiLeaks exposed the reality of
American wars the United States government’s unprecedented indictment against Assange as a
publisher and the media’s role in persuading the public to shoot the messenger.” This new book
by Kevin Gosztola who has spent the last decade covering Assange WikiLeaks and the wider war
on whistleblowers tells the full story based on testimony from dozens of witnesses. It
examines abuses of power by the CIA and the FBI including a spying operation that targeted
Assange’s family lawyers and doctors. Guilty of Journalism offers a balanced and
comprehensive perspective on all the events leading up to what press freedom advocates have
called the trial of the century.
