Wikileaks Audio Remix


When Working on this audio remix relating back to journalism and the media's influence on WikiLeaks I choose a base song with a good beat to represent the heartbeat of the people listening to the media. It starts out with the words "I am the Computer" representing how the WikiLeaks information was gathered, these words continue through out the piece showing how information is still being withheld then leaked out thanks to WikiLeaks. It then goes into different news out lets and how they introduced WikiLeaks to their listeners. It then starts describing some of the things that WikiLeaks leaked. As the beat starts to change, or as the public eye became aware of what WikiLeaks is, the statement "are focusing on the messenger rather than the actual message" is heard because the people wanted someone to blame for the information and the government didn't want the people blaming them so they tried to shift the focus and blamed Julian Assange. It then continues describing WikiLeaks through audio bits taken from some news sources some with added reverb and digital editing representing how WikiLeaks is similar to and echo and the information originally hidden from the people will continue to effect the American people including the government.
