First Look Snags Matt Taibbi

First Look Media, the news organization created by Pierre Omidyar, today announced that acclaimed journalist and New York Times best-selling author Matt Taibbi will launch First Look’s second digital magazine. Taibbi will help assemble a top-notch team of journalists and bring his trademark combination of reporting, analysis, humor and outrage to the ongoing financial crisis – and to the political machinery that makes it possible. The magazine will launch later this year. Taibbi comes to First Look from Rolling Stone.

First Look is the organization that just launched The Intercept with Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras, Jeremy Scahill, and others.  This second publication, headed up by Matt Taibbi, will focus on financial and political corruption.  Should have plenty of material.

Whether busting Goldman Sachs for market manipulation or revealing the hidden roots of the student loan crisis, Taibbi has exposed and explained the most complicated financial scandals of the day.

The name and launch date of his digital magazine will be announced in the coming months.

A major non-corporate news source: First Look

Last week, First Look Media announced that it will publish a family of new digital magazines – each with its own editorial voice, its own look and feel, and each led by veteran journalists with deep expertise in their fields. Early next week, we will launch the first of these digital publications.

The new site will be led by the experienced and award-winning team of Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras, and Jeremy Scahill. Its initial focus will be in-depth reporting on the classified documents previously provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.

First Look is still in the midst of building our team and refining our larger editorial vision and strategy. Later this year, we will launch more digital magazines, along with a flagship site. But in recent weeks, there has been a dramatic escalation in the threats against journalists reporting on the NSA story. First Look will uphold the rights of journalists everywhere to report on the sensitive and often controversial information that they learn from sources. We are launching the new site as a public service, committed to reporting on one of the most pressing issues of our time in a transparent and responsible manner.

Working together, the site's staff has already uncovered a host of new and disturbing revelations in the NSA documents. The site will be published on mobile devices, as well as online. Its launch date will be announced in the next few days.
