WikiLeaks has reportedly registered a business – “its first known legal entity” – in Iceland. Sunshine Press Productions does not yet have an office, but is part of the site’s plans to build a global presence.
The whisteblowing site has strong links with the country already: WikiLeaks and Icelandic MPs have been working on the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative (IMMI). The IMMI calls for better laws in the country to protect journalists and their sources, which has the potential to create a haven for investigative journalists in Iceland.
