'''''The Intercept''''' is an [[American]] [[nonprofit]] [[news]] organization known for [[investigative journalism]], focusing on [[national security]], [[politics]], [[civil liberties]], [[foreign policy]], [[technology]], [[criminal justice]], and [[corporate power]].
It launched on February 10, 2014, as a project of First Look Media (backed by [[eBay]] co-founder [[Pierre Omidyar]]). The founders were [[Glenn Greenwald]], Jeremy Scahill, and Laura Poitras—notable for their work with [[Edward Snowden]] on [[NSA]] [[surveillance]] revelations. In 2023, it became an independent nonprofit.
The site describes itself as providing "fearless, adversarial [[journalism]]" that investigates powerful [[institution]]s, exposes [[corruption]] and injustice, and operates independently of corporate interests. It publishes articles, podcasts (such as ''The Intercept Briefing'' and ''Deconstructed''), and has a presence on [[YouTube]], [[X]] (@theintercept, with nearly 900k followers), [[Instagram]], and [[Facebook]]. It also maintains a Press Freedom Defense Fund to support journalists facing persecution.
