Greenwald, a former civil rights lawyer whose writing topics include national security and digital privacy, will begin at The Guardian on Aug. 20. He had high praise and gratitude for his soon-to-be-former employer:
“[W]hen influential political and media figures vehemently complained about the criticisms I wrote, Salon’s editors unfailingly stood behind my work. Throughout my time here, Salon always evinced an unyielding belief in publishing a wide range of views without fear of offending orthodoxies or establishments, and they continue to do so.”

WAIT BEFORE YOU GO...Glenn Greenwald at Salon:
I will write daily at the U.S. edition of The Guardian, which is based in New York, and will do so exactly the same way as I have here: with full editorial independence and the same type of readership involvement and support upon which I’ve long relied, including a vibrant comment section. In addition to the daily writing, I’ll also write a more traditional once-a-week column there.
This year, the ground feels uncertain — facts are buried and those in power are working to keep them hidden. Now more than ever, independent journalism must go beneath the surface.
At Truthdig, we don’t just report what's happening — we investigate how and why. We follow the threads others leave behind and uncover the forces shaping our future.
