DESCRIPTION:Press Freedom, Whistleblowers and the Cases of Assange, Manning and 
 Carmody\n\nJournalists and whistleblowers are under attack, from Julian 
 Assange and Chelsea Manning to freelance journalist Bryan Carmody in San 
 Francisco. When the president of the United States calls journalists 
 “scum” and encourages his supporters to verbally and physically 
 threaten journalists, the right of all journalists to do their work is 
 threatened.\n\nThe raid by the San Francisco police of Byran Carmody’s 
 home and office in flagrant violation of the California Shield law is 
 another example that press freedom is a local, national, and international 
 issue.\n\nThis forum will look at the issue of who is a journalist and the 
 right of journalists to do their work. Although Julian Assange, the founder 
 of WikiLeaks, has been a member of the Australian MEEA’s Media section 
 since 2007, and this is the trade union that represents Australia media 
 workers, the media, however, continue to argue that he is not a journalist 
 and does not deserve to be protected.\n\nThe use of a 1917 US espionage law 
 to target Assange now opens the way to charge all journalists and 
 newspapers that use material from whistleblowers. This is a basic challenge 
 to our freedom and right to information.\n\nInitial Speakers: Mickey Huff, 
 Project Censored; Steve Zeltzer, KPFA WorkWeek Radio; Ann Garrison, Black
