In honor of a whistleblowing legend: Announcing the Daniel Ellsberg Chair on Government Secrecy. In one of his final public talks, addressing a room of more than 200 journalists, Daniel Ellsberg was asked how the media could better support whistleblowers. In a passionate response, Ellsberg urged the audience—and the press at large—to investigate the U.S. government’s classification system.
