BIBLIOGRAPHY RESEARCH PROCESS

I wanted to I spent a short time finding a couple relevant books in the library dealing with WikiLeaks, and after I began searching through Google Scholar decided to switch to primarily online articles because there was a wider pool to choose from. I began by looking at what the keyword "WikiLeaks" pulled up. I also checked keywords related to criticism, journalism, and the US government. I noticed different formats were used by the publishers, and I came across one article that looked exactly the same as "Location Matters: The Rhetoric of Place in Protest." Seeing this increased my sense of familiarity with the process. During these initial searches I found "We're Going To Crack The World Open," and this article is a study on how journalists are interacting with WikiLeaks, or not.  

 I began spending some time searching the UWM libraries database when I was off campus. After logging in and looking for pieces that were peer reviewed only, I typed in WikiLeaks and rhetorical analysis and found only two articles, one entitled "WikiLeaks comments: a study of responses to articles," which is a study of public commentary on the organization in the public sphere. The second, which I also eventually chosen to use, is "Watching the Domestication of the WikiLeaks Helicopter Controversy." 

 Interesting articles I found dealt with the UK government and the press. I also found an article that was referenced in one of my chosen articles, but because it was not peer reviewed I was not able to utilize it (would have been fun to use that!). After I began finding more interesting articles, I started to think about how they will be "in conversation" and what I wanted from my sources and this helped me obtain a more clear picture of what I wanted in a source.

The Fourth Estate’s Digital Evolution: Assessing the Ripple Effects of Wikileaks

Abstract This paper discusses Wikileaks as a digital archive of classified information that contributes to how the Fourth Estate functions in light of recent developments in digital news media. My research considers Wikileaks’ published classified materials on the digital platform in relation to the traditional methods of leaking classified information in journalism. I argue that, through its digital archive, Wikileaks has effectively constructed a network between itself, journalists, citizens and the government. Wikileaks represents a historic development in the dissemination of classified information. Introduction Fundamental processes of democracy involving free speech and a free press have been preserved by whistleblowers engaging with the press throughout history. The significance of the press in assisting public scrutiny and upholding democratic processes is seen in the release of the Pentagon Papers in 1971 by former U.S. military analyst Daniel Ellsberg. 1...

FIRST DRAFT

WikiLeaks has released classified information from within the US government to the “virtual sphere” which enables public scrutiny of both the leaks and our government (Papacharissi). Furthermore, the dialogues WikiLeaks has generated regarding the issue of leaked US classified documents in virtual spheres, such as online news publications or academic articles, are evidence of the level of value WikiLeaks lends to a public debate over our democracy. Thus, WikiLeaks facilitates a critical relationship between US citizens and their government and strengthens the building blocks of a healthy democracy, which is of course reflected in our constitution with the First Amendment. The digital nature of WikiLeaks assists in circumventing the US government's attempts to contain classified information, thereby placing public knowledge above governmental secrecy. Traditionally speaking, public procurement of leaked information was reliant upon the physical relationships between journalists an...

Web. 29 October 2014.< http://search.proquest.com.ezproxy.lib.uwm.edu/docview/1193950884/fulltextPDF?accountid=15078 > The central theme of this article is to analyze public comments made about WikiLeaks in three online publications ( The New York Times, The Guardian, and Ynet ) within the context of online user generated content in a widespread public debate.   The article also addresses "the deliberative democracy theory" originating in the early twentieth century as it relates to modern theory of agnostic pluralism, this contrast addresses how consensus reflects hegemony and disagreement reflects or promotes democratic processes, as they relate to the public sphere.  Hasian Marouf A.
