Originally, Assange described his career as a hacker, but an individual’s perceptions might differ in how his profession is viewed. In my opinion, I think Assange profession is all of the above except a journalists. I don’t think he can be considered a journalist just because he did not gather his information first hand, but acquired it from leaked sources. In an ethical sense I don’t think his occupation really matters. If he was still the CEO and editor of WikiLeaks, still leaking secrets to the world the consequences of his actions would still remain the same regardless of his occupation.
