Jeremy Scahill Biography

Jeremy Scahill is an award-winning investigative journalist and expert of warfare. He is a co-founder of The Intercept, and he recently announced he was leaving after more than a decade to launch a new investigative journalism outlet, Drop Site News, alongside colleague Ryan Grim.

Scahill is known for his current international news contributions to journalism and media. He began his career at Democracy Now!, a news program where he continues to contribute regularly. Scahill co-founded online news publication The Intercept and Drop Site News, along with Ryan Grim and Nausicaa Renner. His involvement in media extends to the podcast arena where he publishes Intercepted. His investigative prowess has led to multiple recognitions including the George Polk Award and the Izzy Award for Independent Media. In a bold stance for journalistic integrity, Scahill rejected an Overseas Press Club award during a ceremony announcing the NATO bombing of the Radio Television of Serbia.

Scahill is widely respected for his writing, particularly in areas related to war, security, and U.S. foreign policy. His book "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army" won the George Polk Book Award and was named Alternet Best Book of the Year. Not only did it receive notable mention in The New York Times, it also led to Congressional investigations. Scahill's other book, "Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield," was adapted into a documentary film that received a nomination for the 2014 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. His co-authored work, "The Assassination Complex: Inside the Government's Secret Drone Warfare Program," further established his authority on issues of national security.

His extensive reporting from conflict zones like Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, and Yemen, coupled with his frequent appearances on major news programs such as "The Rachel Maddow Show," "Real Time with Bill Maher," and "Democracy Now!" have provided him with a wealth of real-world insight. Scahill's expertise led to his testimony before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee in 2010 regarding the U.S.'s shadow wars. These experiences contribute to his standing as a knowledgeable speaker on issues of war, security, and journalism. His work has earned him prestigious awards including the Windham Campbell Award for Writing and the Golden Reel Award from the National Federation of Community Broadcasters.
