“This war on whistleblowers is not ancillary to journalism, but
actually it directly affects it,” says Trevor Timm, executive
director of the Freedom of the Press
Foundation (FPF), a nonprofit that works to provide funding,
encryption tools, and other resources to journalists who expose
government secrets. “And it’s making it much more difficult for the
public to get the information they need.”
Watch Reason TV’s interview with Timm about topics ranging from
why encryption matters, what tools journalists, whistleblowers, and
others who value privacy should be using to protect their
communications, and what FPF plans to do if it’s ever targeted by
the government for funneling money to entities such as
Wikileaks.
