London, January 21 (RHC)-- The Guardian has published a new report based on Edward Snowden documents that show the National Security Agency’s British counterpart, GCHQ, collected the e-mails of reporters as part of its bulk spying operations.
E-mails from the BBC, Reuters, The Guardian, The New York Times, NBC, The Washington Post and the French newspaper Le Monde were saved and shared with staff on the agency’s intranet as part of a test exercise.
The agency also listed "investigative journalists" as a threat alongside terrorists or hackers.
