NY Times Considers Creating a WikiLeaks Type Site

Posted by samzenpus on from the greatest-form-of-flattery dept.

eko3 writes "The New York Times is considering options to create an in-house submission system that could make it easier for would-be leakers to provide large files to the paper. From the article: 'Executive editor Bill Keller told The Cutline that he couldn't go into details, "especially since nothing is nailed down." But when asked if he could envision a system like Al Jazeera's Transparency Unit, Keller said the paper has been "looking at something along those lines."'"

    It's "bandwagon". We don't need a new word to replace an existing word. That would be ricockulous.

    They expect leakers to sign up and watch a 30-second ad before commenting.

    Never gonna happen.

    Which one? The first one or the current one? Trick question! Actually, the figurehead of the "Liberal Media" loves killing foreigners.
