I found in investigative journalism it is always best, if you have any language skills, not to admit them.

We like to engage in a normal publishing effort, which is to act in a responsible manner and make sure the material is not likely to harm anyone, that it is properly investigated by quality news organizations, and by lawyers and human rights groups and so on.

If a source gives us material that is of political, diplomatic, ethical or historical significance that has not been published before and is comprised of official documents or recordings, then we will publish it.

Don’t damage computer systems you break into (including crashing them); don’t change the information in those systems (except for altering logs to cover your tracks); and share information.

Where they couldn't pick holes in our arguments they would drive horses and carriages through my character.

The supply of leaks is very large. It's helpful for us to have more people in this industry. It's protective to us.
