Helin's Legacy

See if you can find it.


Get It

Try It

STOCKHOLM (Rixstep) — One of the first things Jules Assange did on his fateful trip to Sweden was meet with the editor in chief of the country's biggest sleaze rag Jan Helin who offered the WikiLeaks cofounder a bimonthly column.

It's an understandable mistake.


Jan Helin likes people to regard him as a sort of Pulitzer Prize candidate when in fact he peddles sleaze like few others. 'When it bleeds, it leads', Robert Redford tells Michelle Pfeiffer, but seriously - how far can one go?

One thing's certain: Jan Helin can go there - that's a promise.

Sunday Edition

When the rest of the world is still teetering under the massive impact of the WikiLeaks Iraq War Logs with real journalists coming out one after the other with further revelations and crushing condemnations, the Swedish media - with Jan Helin in the lead - are doing their very best to keep this out of sight.

Today's online edition of Aftonbladet - the front page a heady 225 KB before script expansion - first mentions WikiLeaks about 90% of the way down that first page. Sleeping Swedes won't ever scroll that far.

So what's more important than the Iraq War Logs? Ask Jan Helin - check his online edition.

Here are a small fraction of the headlines preceding the obscure 'Brits Run Out of Petrol - al Qaeda Leader Escapes'.
