Given that he is the creator and head of Wikileaks, he can be seen as a publisher who directs editorial policy (as many publishers do).

I’m not arguing that he’s not involved in editorial decisions.

I am arguing that it’s misleading to call him a journalist. That’s not why he matters.

People are calling him a journalist because they hope it will save his life. I hope it does too.

I just think that if we care about his overall goal, we should see him as a publisher - because that’s the work he has done that matters.
