From Wikipedia:
>The charges stem from the allegation that Assange attempted and failed to crack a password hash so that Chelsea Manning could use a different username to download classified documents and avoid detection.[41] This allegation had been known since 2011 and was a factor in Manning's trial; the indictment did not reveal any new information about Assange.
I don't believe it counts as journalism if you help someone commit a crime- that's the crux of the issue. Notice that real journalists who are passive receivers of information do not get criminally charged.
