The Intercept launched five years ago with a mission to produce fearless, adversarial journalism. Since then, we have published thousands of stories, videos, and podcasts, covering politics, war, surveillance, corruption, the environment, technology, criminal justice, the media, and more.
On Tuesday, April 16 The Intercept held an event at Brooklyn’s Bell House where our journalists discussed the stories they are most passionate about and gave a preview of what’s next. Featuring a special appearance by Rep. Ro Khanna.
Featuring The Intercept’s:
- Betsy Reed, editor-in-chief
- Jeremy Scahill, co-founding editor and senior investigative reporter, host of the Intercepted podcast
- Glenn Greenwald, co-founding editor and columnist (via Skype)
- Naomi Klein, columnist and senior correspondent
- Ryan Grim, D.C. bureau chief
- Liliana Segura, senior reporter
- Mehdi Hasan, columnist and senior contributor, host of the Deconstructed podcast
- Maryam Saleh, story editor
- Alice Speri, reporter
Plus special guests DJ Spooky, Mr. Reed, and Molly Crabapple.
Wait! Before you go on about your day, ask yourself: How likely is it that the story you just read would have been produced by a different news outlet if The Intercept hadn’t done it?
Consider what the world of media would look like without The Intercept. Who would hold party elites accountable to the values they proclaim to have? How many covert wars, miscarriages of justice, and dystopian technologies would remain hidden if our reporters weren’t on the beat?
The kind of reporting we do is essential to democracy, but it is not easy, cheap, or profitable. The Intercept is an independent nonprofit news outlet. We don’t have ads, so we depend on our members — 35,000 and counting — to help us hold the powerful to account. Joining is simple and doesn’t need to cost a lot: You can become a sustaining member for as little as $3 or $5 a month. That’s all it takes to support the journalism you rely on.Become a Member
