I am a whistleblower in the UK. The issue is large enough it could get into the papers or the dismantling of an organisation. It is not a comfortable position to be in and I'm fully cognizant of the risks to my future employability. Nonetheless it has to be done. I would urge people to speak up even over little things.
Bad things happen when good men do nothing, is succinct and appropriate.
I appreciate the work you are doing although there is nothing in my experience that I think can assist you. I went through legal channels and it is starting to have the desired effect. The most important thing you can do as a newspaper is be a newspaper. That way I can give my story and shame them publicly as a last resort if needed. Your work will be invaluable for others I have no doubt!
I guess Julian Assange did with Wikileaks was the correct technology and process - and why the establishment has scared everyone away from replicating what he did by his most poor treatment.
Assange worked with Rusbridger, Guardian's editor in chief at the time, I think. So .... the guardian should go to the guardian and get their help! :-)
It's worth noting that The Guardian's response to Assange's persecution left a lot to be desired[0-2] from a whistle-blowing perspective, especially against a powerful organization. That's not to say one should avoid a journalist publication for telling their story, just that it can backfire in its own way if (presumably) that publication starts to get heat from law man.
