WikiLeaks, Julian Assange Win Major Australian Prize for “Outstanding Contribution to Journalism”
November 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Over the weekend, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange accepted the award for Most Outstanding Contribution to Journalism at the 2011 Walkley Award in Australia, an honor akin to the Pulitzer Prize in the United States.
Today also marks the one-year anniversary of “Cable Gate,” when WikiLeaks began publishing a trove of more than 250,000 leaked U.S. State Department cables.
In related news, the U.S. Army recently scheduled a Dec. 16 pretrial hearing for Army Private Bradley Manning, the soldier accused of providing the cables to WikiLeaks. 
Manning “faces life in prison, possibly the death penalty, for what was an act of conscience,” says Greenwald.
