[TheIntercept] The Intercept is broadening access to the Snowden archive, here is why

Posted on


As time has gone on, The Intercept has sought out new ways to get documents from the archive into the hands of the public, consistent with the public interest as originally conceived. […] Today, The Intercept is announcing two innovations in how we report on and publish these materials. […]

The first measure involves the publication of large batches of documents. We are, beginning today, publishing in installments the NSA’s internal SIDtoday newsletters, which span more than a decade beginning after 9/11. We are starting with the oldest SIDtoday articles, from 2003, and working our way through the most recent in our archive, from 2012. Our first release today contains 166 documents, all from 2003, and we will periodically release batches until we have made public the entire set. The documents are available on a special section of The Intercept. […]

The other innovation is our ability to invite outside journalists, including from foreign media outlets, to work with us to explore the full Snowden archive. […]
