“The book is a good source of academic knowledge on journalism ethics, whistle-blowing, and communication generally, and it also gives us firsthand descriptions of the inner workings of WikiLeaks from people who were actually involved in the group’s activities. … The book is a timely and important read, especially since it examines a very important issue of debate in journalism and communication generally.” (Ayodeji Awobamise, International Journal of Communication, Vol. 10, 2016)
“Benedetta Brevini, Arne Hintz, and Patrick McCurdy have drawn together scholars interested in the ways WikiLeaks has altered power dynamics in society, its political effects, and the way it has disrupted traditional journalism, while also bringing in familiar (or involved) voices from the WikiLeaks narrative. … Beyond WikiLeaks offers scholars who work in these areas a broadernarrative and a way to avoid WikiLeaks being set aside as something of a moment.” (Scott Eldridge II, Digital Journalism, Vol. 3 (1), 2015)
