first_look_media_logo_1The new home of Matt Taibbi, First Look Media, is also home to Glen Greenwald, the journalist who has assisted (and is still assisting) Edward Snowden to release documents about spying by "the government" (aka, "The Corporation") on world citizens and politicians (and who knows what else). Here's some information about this journal.

"First Look Media seeks to reimagine journalism for the digital age, combining the promise of technological innovation with the power of fearless reporting. Founded by Pierre Omidyar, the organization will pursue original, independent journalism that is deeply reported and researched, thoroughly fact checked, and beautifully told. We are driven above all by a belief that democracy depends on a citizenry that is not just highly informed, but deeply engaged. In all our work, we are committed to strict standards of accuracy and honesty, a willingness to report our own errors and inconsistencies as well as those of others, and a deep respect for the transformative power of true stories.

"The Intercept, the first of First Look's digital magazines, is founded and led by award-winning journalists Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill. Its initial focus will be new reporting involving the disclosures made to them by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. Over time, the site will broaden its reporting to a wide range of issues involving government and corporate accountability.

2-19-14: "First Look Media, the news organization created by Pierre Omidyar, today announced that acclaimed journalist and New York Times best-selling author Matt Taibbi will launch First Look's second digital magazine. Taibbi will help assemble a top-notch team of journalists and bring his trademark combination of reporting, analysis, humor and outrage to the ongoing financial crisis – and to the political machinery that makes it possible. The magazine will launch later this year."
