This is already addressed another way: Wikileaks started giving access to the leaks in advance to the journalists. This way, they can report about it when it's still news, and they do, because it almost looks like they're doing their freaking job.
Wikileaks needs a robust way to distribute the raw sources, and some PR know-how to make sure they're distilled, in an accessible way, to the layman. They're outsourcing the production of the easily consumed to newspaper, and that's a key part of their strategy. The minority of people who will put the effort to deal with the raw sources can also figure out Tor.
One can even argue that the website's primary purpose is to encourage newspapaers not to censor themselves.
