Outlet track record

The Intercept

U.S. left / progressive

The Intercept is a nonprofit, donor- and reader-funded news outlet with no corporate owner, having spun off from billionaire Pierre Omidyar's First Look Media in 2023. It practices adversarial, left-leaning investigative journalism focused on national security, surveillance, and civil liberties. Its coverage of the second Trump administration has been consistently and sharply critical, including active litigation against the administration over press freedom issues.
