Why Snowden waited a whole year for his TV close-up
By Brian Stelter, CNN
When Edward Snowden was identified as the source who leaked top-secret NSA documents last spring, reporters and television anchors immediately began jockeying to interview him.
How long, they wondered, might he wait to have his first sit-down television interview, to speak out about why he did what he did? One month? Two?
Snowden actually waited one whole year, for reasons that have a lot to do with how the news media works.
Ben Wizner, the ACLU attorney who has been Snowden's legal adviser and liaison with the press, called the wait part of a "very very deliberate strategy all along" to make mass surveillance the story, not the man.
"Waiting a year meant that there was so much to ask him about other than himself," Wizner said.
