Journalism as a quasi-relegious cult and Assange is seen as a heretic, therefore, he's automatically excluded from the select membership. Assange has written lots of articeles. I've read most of them, so he qualifies as a journalist. Probably Wikileaks wouldn' have worked if he'd been subject to a typical journalists training and 'discipline.' What about 'citizen journalism', that used to be all the rage and that ghastly bloke Bellingcat who I've heard described as a journalist on numerous occacasions. Then there's the Syrian Observatory on Human Rights, that 'organisation' has received saturation coverage and supplied journalism for years. I don't know about this ariticle at all. Then people say I'm being unfair or something if I venture that I find these people a bit... 'thick'!
