Leaking Journalism as a form of Peer Production Against Mass Surveillance

Abstract

The objective of the study is to suggest a conceptualization of leaking journalism as a network-based journalism practice that includes the process of acquiring and publishing of information leaks. The study also aims to explain the possibilities of resistance that leaking journalism offers as a form of peer-production against mass surveillance. In this context, the information leak actions such as Pentagon Papers and Cablegate that shifted the way of world politics, and changes in the power structure caused by these actions are examined from a historical perspective. Subsequently, citizen journalism and network journalism approaches, which can be seen as the precursor of the practice of leaking journalism, are described and the leaking journalism model is defined. Finally, the argument that leaking journalism create a form of peer-production against mass surveillance is discussed within the scope of counter-surveillance and commons-based peer production approaches.
