Edward Snowden has a new gig: Joins board of press freedom group [The Washington Post]

Later in the article: "Presumably, Snowden will be discharging his duties with the Freedom of the Press Foundation while continuing his local job working for a Russian Web site."
"Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden has a new gig: He's joining the board of the Freedom of the Press Foundation. "It is tremendously humbling to be called to serve the cause of our free press, and it is the honor of a lifetime to do so alongside extraordinary Americans like Daniel Ellsberg on FPF’s Board of Directors," Snowden said in a statement on the organization's blog.
"Journalism isn't possible unless reporters and their sources can safely communicate," he wrote, "and where laws can't protect that, technology can. This is a hard problem, but not an unsolvable one, and I look forward to using my experience to help find a solution.”"
