Because Snowden upset the journalist's friends in the intelligence community.

Snowden was "CitizenFour" for a while.

Snowden didn't want the mystery to fester. He wanted it to be about the information, not the messenger. He didn't want it to be about him, so he tried to get it all over and done with and out of the way, so he revealed himself. So he claims. That's never how it works though, and the media will focus on what their told to focus on. Just as now. The "whistleblower" is no secret, yet they pretend it's significant. Pure theatrical distraction and waste of time from real issues they don't want us discussing.
