Ask HN: Who are the journalists covering Internet privacy?
7 points by SandersAK on July 2, 2013 | hide | past | favorite | 7 comments
Right now there's a lot of attention on NSA, surveillance, and the larger issues of privacy on the web. I'm thankful for that.

But it worries me that it takes something as catastrophic as a John le Carré character like Edward Snowden to bring this all to my attention.

I want to know: Who covers this stuff in depth on a more consistent basis that I can follow (twitter? tumblr? some blogs?) and how can I support them (with money)? I worry that news sources are increasingly moving to big home run stories and / or reactionary commentary instead of investigative and actionable reporting.

I'd like to find the passionate and dedicated journalists who are devoted to finding important information and then support them. Where do I go?



Check out the work from my organization, the International Association of Privacy Professionals. We are a non-advocacy and non-policy organization focused squarely on privacy with an excellent reporting crew and many free resources.

this is awesome. thank you!


I follow KPoulsen from wired, on Twitter. Although I do question US media, to explain why, Snowden brought his story to Washington Post first and had to push them to publish by going to The Guardian[0].
