The Intercept

At The Intercept, we investigate powerful individuals and institutions to expose corruption and injustice. We see journalism as an instrument of civic action. We’re here to change the world, not just describe it.

Mission

The Intercept is an award-winning news organization dedicated to holding the powerful accountable through fearless, adversarial journalism. Its in-depth investigations and unflinching analysis focus on politics, war, surveillance, corruption, the environment, technology, criminal justice, the media, and more. The Intercept gives its journalists the editorial freedom and legal support they need to expose corruption and injustice wherever they find it.

About our journalism

The Intercept aspires to drive meaningful change by empowering the public with information to demand a better world from institutions and leaders. We believe rigorous and courageous journalism plays a vital role in protecting human rights, safeguarding freedoms, checking the influence of money and power, and moving society toward a just future.

Since our founding, our groundbreaking reporting has achieved immense impact, including spurring exonerations, reforming laws, enacting new legislation, and exposing sweeping national security programs that undermine civil liberties.
