| Summary / Abstract (Note) | News journalism achieved a new height with the publication of serious revelation made by American computer professional and ex-Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and National Security Agency (NSA) employee , Edward Joseph Snowden on June 2013. Refreshing the memories of editor-in-chief and founder of Wikileaks, Julian Paul Assange, the recent example has once again exhibited how powerful and deadly the media can be in term of national security. The recent issue has once ignited the same debate on the role of the media: the media as a watchdog of a nation or a medium which provides a voice to the unheard, helps the whistleblowers to expose the cracks in our existing society and by doing so, performs a greater good for the public. |
