Attorney Kevin Goldberg: I don't believe in the 'Wikileaks' model
The 'Wikileaks' model is not the right way to enhance transparency in the world', said Attorney Kevin Goldberg in an interview for Mediapool. Mr. Goldberg, a US expert in the area of freedom of information and copywrite, visited Bulgaria to take part in a workshop for best practices in the access to information field. Mr Goldberg said that disclosure of information should be a responsible and accountable process. According to the interview the whistle-blower function in the USA is not very effective and, in addition, journalists do not have assurance in law for protection of their sources. To his view there should be such legal protection and it should be unconditional. Direct democracy in the USA to a great extent is a myth and platforms like 'We, the People' do not work effectively, said Kevin Goldberg.
