Today, The Intercept and Drop Site News announced that acclaimed journalists Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grim are embarking on a new chapter with the launch of Drop Site News, their independent journalism venture, with startup funding by The Intercept.
At Drop Site News, Scahill and Grim will continue to produce and broadcast the award-winning podcasts Intercepted and Deconstructed, which will be available on the websites of Drop Site News and The Intercept.
Scahill and Grim have been pivotal in establishing The Intercept as a formidable reporting force. Scahill’s exposés on U.S. drone warfare, Blackwater’s Iraq operations, and CIA torture practices have consistently held power to account. Since joining in 2017, Grim’s reporting on political corruption and democratic erosion has illuminated critical societal issues.
