Glenn Greenwald's First Look Media to Release Snowden-Themed Digital Mag

Title will be announced via Twitter

First Look Media, the journalism venture led by former Guardian reporter Glenn Greenwald and eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, has announced that it will launch its first digital magazine next week. The magazine, which will be the first in a series of single-topic online publications from First Look, will focus on Edward Snowden’s NSA leaks. Greenwald, journalist and filmmaker Laura Poitras and The Nation's former national security correspondent, Jeremy Scahill, will oversee editorial operations.

In a memo, Omidyar and First Look editorial advisor Eric Bates (formerly the executive editor of Rolling Stone), said that the magazine is being launched as a reaction to the “dramatic escalation in the threats against journalists reporting on the NSA story.”
