"Sources are able to upload documents anonymously," he continues, "through the Tor network onto servers that will be kept separate from the New Yorker's main computer system. Leakers are then given a unique code name that allows New Yorker reporters or editors to contact them through messages left on Strongbox."
In the era of "the most aggressive US government assaults on press freedom in a generation," this open source tool will offer a measure of protection to those willing to speak out.
The problem with this is who can now trust the MSM to publish truly sensitive stories?
For example, quoted above is a journalist for the British Guardian newspaper and it is the Guardian newspaper who have been given a full copy of the said to be lost dossier compiled by the deceased Conservative MP Geoffrey Dickens, that he personally handed to Home Secretary Leon Brittan - and which Lewd Brittan lost and, strangely, these days can't even remember receiving. Ditto the 2nd dossier Dickens gave to the same Home Secretary - who has recently been named as being a "visitor" to the Elm Guest House gay & paedophile brothel.
Needless to say the Guardian has not published the Dickens dossiers.
The media cannot any longer be trusted - they form part of the problem and not part of the answer.
It is the newly emerging one-man/woman blogs and other internet based sites where real journalism is being done these days. they have no advertisers exerting pressure and, as yet, no security services breathing down their necks to suppress stories under national security protocols.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
