If you live in the overlapping world of politics and media, as I am learning, anything less than full transparency can potentially do you in.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Radical transparency has an enormous impact on our personal lives. We can no longer share thoughts, quips, photos or personal opinions anywhere on the web without being mindful that they may turn up where we least expect it (notably job interviews, divorce proceedings or public media).
I don't have anything to hide but what happens is the media tend to beat up what I say.
This whole idea of visibility by the public creates a pretty powerful lever. In the new transparency era, you are able to make change you would otherwise have difficulty making. It's no longer possible for somebody just to bury the problem. It's the reason why things like WikiLeaks are important.
Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, has on several occasions talked about transparency as an absolute principle. I don't personally believe that.
We live in a time where the media is a very difficult thing to navigate because it's everywhere, and I tend to want to be a lot more private with my life.
I believe that transparency is the solution to our problem on corruption.
I believe transparency in government is key to restoring our nation's faith in its elected leaders.
I believe in transparency.
We live in a culture of destructive transparency.
I'm somebody's who's in favor of transparency and openness.
