Glenn Greenwald to Split With The Guardian [Updated]
Reporter tells BuzzFeed he's working on a new site
Glenn Greenwald is saying goodbye to The Guardian, according to a report published by BuzzFeed.
Greenwald, who has dominated the reporting on the National Security Agency's surveillance programs, told BuzzFeed he is joining a yet-to-be-launched news site—and that the offer he received was too good to pass up.
“The decision to leave was not an easy one, but I was presented with a once-in-a-career dream journalistic opportunity that no journalist could possibly decline," Greenwald said, adding that this new enterprise will be "very well-funded."
Reports surfaced Tuesday evening that eBay founder Pierre Omidyar is providing financial backing for the site.
