The Intercept - We are starting something new

We’re deeply proud of the journalism we’ve produced in our years at The Intercept. But at a moment of crisis for journalism and politics, we need even more outlets courageous enough to challenge the powers that be. That’s why we’re launching Drop Site.




We want you, as a devoted Intercept reader, to be the first to hear the news: With The Intercept’s support, we’re starting something new: Drop Site News.

We’re deeply proud of the journalism we’ve produced in our years at The Intercept. But at a moment of crisis for journalism and politics, we need even more outlets courageous enough to challenge the powers that be. That’s why we’re launching Drop Site, a news outlet committed to independent reporting on politics and war, and why we’re so grateful for our talented colleagues who will continue producing incredible journalism for The Intercept.

Drop Site will be the new home for our journalism, and we’d like to continue sending you updates on our latest work via email. But if you **don’t** want to hear from us, you can click here to opt out of getting any more emails.

NO, PLEASE DON’T SEND ME UPDATES FROM Drop Site News →

We’re excited to continue partnering with The Intercept, which is providing a generous founding grant to launch Drop Site News. Our podcasts, Intercepted and Deconstructed, will continue to be available on The Intercept’s website — alongside the journalism you’ve come to expect from our colleagues.

At Drop Site, we’re going to lean into what we do best: independent coverage of politics and war at a moment as dangerous as any we’ve seen. Investigative journalism is more important than ever. Help it thrive.

Onward,

Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grim
