For one of their first programs of 2024, Mickey and Eleanor again focus on the legal case of Julian Assange and the implication for press freedom in the U.S. and abroad.
In a recently recorded interview, independent journalist Kevin Gosztola tells Mickey about the latest legal developments, including the lawsuit against the CIA. Then we hear a discussion he had with Eleanor about his book Guilty of Journalism; they spoke last August at the Red Emma’s bookstore/cafe in Baltimore.
Kevin Gosztola has covered the Julian Assange legal proceedings in the UK from their beginning, as well as other press-freedom and whistleblower cases. His book on the Assange case, Guilty of Journalism, was published last year. Gosztola also writes at thedissenter.org.
