Secrets and Lies: How WikiLeaks Has Changed The World
The emergence of WikiLeaks has had a profound (if polarising) effect on our relationship to information. Whether it’s politicians or the media, the question of secrecy and disclosure has been revived. What do we have the right to know, and why? When should secrets remain so?
