by webdev@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#6P32V)
We speak with journalist Jeremy Scahill, co-founder of The Intercept, about how he just announced he is leaving after more than a decade and launched a new investigative journalism outlet Monday called Drop Site News, alongside colleague Ryan Grim. What Ryan and I are trying to do is build a lean, sustainable, reader-supported news organization that's going to take big swings at powerful people ... and to operate with no fear or favor of those in power," says Scahill. Our pledge ... is to be accountable to the readers, the viewers and the listeners."
