The First Intercept of Media Dragons

How do you write about topical stories and news? Some people manage to write reams and reams – particularly on a subject like the Journalism and Price of Privacy. People pour over every aspect and detail of abuses of power, sifting through every tiny piece of paraphernalia like holy relics as though this will somehow bring them closer to the well of knowledge. No one is better storyteller than Jay Rosen

"First Look Media, where I’m an advisor, launched its first “digital magazine” yesterday. It’s called The Intercept. (A name I like.) The Intercept is led by Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill. It has a masthead, a mission, its own look and feel and the following URL:http://firstlook.org/theintercept. "
