The legal action against Julian Assange is poised to culminate in a trial in the United States in 2023, and this book will help the public understand the proceedings. The establishment media''s coverage of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange''s extradition case has focused on his deteriorating health and what CBS News called his ''secret family,'' but most of this coverage failed to detail the complex issues at stake against Assange.

Guilty of Journalism outlines how WikiLeaks exposed the reality of American wars, the United States government''s unprecedented indictment against Assange as a publisher, and the media''s role in persuading the public to ''shoot the messenger.'' This new book by Kevin Gosztola, who has spent the last decade covering Assange, WikiLeaks, and the wider war on whistle-blowers, tells the full story based on testimony from dozens of witnesses.

It examines abuses of power by the CIA and the FBI, including a spying operation that targeted Assange''s family, lawyers, and doctors. Guilty of Journalism offers a balanced and comprehensive perspective on all the events leading up to what press freedom advocates have called the trial of the century.
