Jeremy Scahill's interview on Counter Points

On Counter Points today, my co-host Emily Jashinsky and I interviewed Jeremy Scahill as part of a series we’ve started doing that delves deep into the life and career of independent journalists. As a reader of this outlet, no doubt you know the outlines of his arc, from Democracy Now! to Drop Site, but there’s a lot more to the story and I think you’ll find it a fascinating window into the evolution of the media over the past three decades. If you get a moment, it’s well worth your time. Please share it widely if you appreciate it. 

The interview is here.

And in case you missed it, episode one of The Palestine Laboratory is up on our podcast feed now free for everybody.

Israel’s assault on North Gaza, and in particular its remaining operational hospitals, remains ongoing. Read Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Abubaker Abed’s dispatch here, which we’re regularly updating, or follow our Twitter thread for the latest from the ground.
