For the answer of this questions lets have a look on wikileaks faqs. "Wikileaks makes to a promise to its sources: that will obtain the maximum possible impact for their release. Doing this requires journalists and researchers to spend extensive periods of time scrutinizing the material. The established partners chosen were among the few with the resources necessary to spend many weeks ahead of publication making a start on their analysis. Even with this much effort, the five current media partners will only scratch the surface of this material. As a result, Wikileaks will continue seeking media partners to work on the embassy cables."
