The Intercept

The Intercept is a U.S.-based civilian nonprofit news organization founded in 2014 by journalists Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill, and filmmaker Laura Poitras, with funding from eBay founder Pierre Omidyar via First Look Media. It specializes in adversarial journalism targeting government and corporate misconduct, particularly national security, surveillance, and whistleblower leaks, including Edward Snowden's NSA revelations, the 'Drone Papers' on U.S. drone strikes, and Reality Winner's leaks on election interference. Notable achievements include Pulitzer-related recognition and scoops on intelligence operations. No direct involvement in UAP/UFO research or government programs is documented in available sources. As of 2024, it faces financial challenges but remains active with international branches like The Intercept Brasil.
