“ It used to cost money to disclose and distribute information. In the digital age it costs money not to. ”
I trained as a journalist in America where paying sources is frowned upon. Now I work in the U.K. where there is a more flexible attitude.

When you're a crime reporter, you see the nub of what life's about, and you don't have much patience for the falsity of politics.
In America, you have the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. You've got drones now being considered for domestic surveillance. You have the National Security Agency building the world's giantest spy center.
There's not a self-regulating group of nice fair-playing people in politics. There are a lot of dodgy people in politics.
