Anonymous Has a Hand in Dispersing Key Information, But That’s Not Enough to be Journalism

Do you need an identity to be a journalist? Hacktivist collective ‘Anonymous’ brings us this question. Beyond the inherent question of ethics and Senator Charles Schumer’s, “Legitimate newsgathering activities,” definition of similar groups like WikiLeaks, there are even more factors in dictating whether or not Anonymous has journalistic credibility.

A Love Letter From the Front Row | Open Letter

“Front row or no go,” I proudly scrawl across my Instagram story after clicking a blurry picture, clutching the barricade at yet another dingy, rundown concert venue. In my mind flashes the image of every previous show from Pittsburgh to Connecticut to New York City to Philadelphia to London to Orlando to Toronto.
