YouTube Description
as posted by the channelGlenn Greenwald, the journalist who first reported Edward Snowden's leaks, is leaving The Guardian this week to join a new media venture funded by eBay founder and multibillionaire Pierre Omidyar. "Usually [dissenting journalists] are on the outside of institutional power, and what this is really about is being able to create a very wellfunded, powerful, wellfortified institution that's designed not to just tolerate that kind of journalism, but to enable it and protect it, strengthen it and empower it," Greenwald says. "The people who we're going to select are all going to be people who take the same view of adversarial journalism, that it's about holding the most powerful factions accountable, fearlessly without regard to threats from the government or corporate factions. I think it's going to be a very formidable force in shaping how journalism is understood and how it's practiced."
