The new venture that lured Guardian writer Glenn Greenwald away from the title in the midst of the Edward Snowden NSA leaks is backed by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and involves film maker Laura Poitras and The Nation’s Jeremy Scahill. According to Jay Rosen of Press Think, who spoke to Omidyar about the project, he got Greenwald on board with his idea earlier this month after learning he had already been planning to form a new journalism venture with Scahill and Poitras.
