WikiLeaks has replaced Julian Assange as editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, the organization announced Wednesday. Assange, who will remain on board as publisher, has appointed Kristinn Hrafnsson as the new editor in chief.
The decision comes six months after Assange’s internet privileges at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London have been revoked.
