Why Pierre Omidyar decided to join forces with Glenn Greenwald

by Jay Rosen pressthink.org published 2013-10-16

Yesterday word leaked out that Glenn Greenwald would be leaving the Guardian to help create some new thing backed by Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay. I just got off the phone with Omidyar. So I can report more details about what the new thing is and how it came to be.
