A screengrab from First Look Media's video explaining the new outlet.
First Look Media, the new journalism venture backed by billionaire eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and led by Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill, will launch the first of its online magazines early next week, with the inaugural edition to focus on NSA documents.
Omidyar and Eric Bates, former executive editor of Rolling Stone who also forms part of the new venture, wrote on Thursday that the new site's
...initial focus will be in-depth reporting on the classified documents previously provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
First Look is still in the midst of building our team and refining our larger editorial vision and strategy. Later this year, we will launch more digital magazines, along with a flagship site. But in recent weeks, there has been a dramatic escalation in the threats against journalists reporting on the NSA story. First Look will uphold the rights of journalists everywhere to report on the sensitive and often controversial information that they learn from sources. We are launching the new site as a public service, committed to reporting on one of the most pressing issues of our time in a transparent and responsible manner.
The post also announced that noted journalists Marcy Wheeler, Peter Maass and Ryan Gallagher were joining the First Look team.

Political revenge. Mass deportations. Project 2025. Unfathomable corruption. Attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Pardons for insurrectionists. An all-out assault on democracy. Republicans in Congress are scrambling to give Trump broad new powers to strip the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit he doesn’t like by declaring it a “terrorist-supporting organization.” Trump has already begun filing lawsuits against news outlets that criticize him. At Common Dreams, we won’t back down, but we must get ready for whatever Trump and his thugs throw at us. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. By donating today, please help us fight the dangers of a second Trump presidency. |
