6) "He was being prosecuted for journalism" - the charge he plead guilty to was not merely that he received leaked material, but that he had encouraged others to obtain material illegally in the first place with the goal of then publishing it. This is quite a long way beyond what's normally considered journalism. Could this case have set uncomfortable precedent in terms of where the line of acceptability is? Yes, and I'm glad it hasn't.
