Busboys and Poets presents Drop Site News: a conversation with co-founders Jeremy Scahill, Ryan Grim and founding editor Nausicaa Renner
At a time when the world desperately needs hard-hitting journalism, establishment and corporate media outlets are failing the public and democracy itself. That’s why Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grim started Drop Site, a non-aligned, investigative news organization dedicated to exposing the crimes of the powerful — particularly in overt and secret conflicts where the U.S. government is playing a key role.
Come hear more from these founding members in a conversation moderated by Andy Shallal CEO/Founder of Busboys and Poets

Jeremy Scahill has reported from war and conflict zones around the world, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, and the former Yugoslavia. He is the author of the international best-selling books Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army and Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield. Scahill has won some of the top prizes in journalism, including two George Polk Awards and an Oscar nomination.
Ryan Grim is a longtime D.C. reporter, breaking news from the halls of Congress and leading the Washington bureaus for The Intercept and HuffPost. At HuffPost, he led a team that was twice a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and won once. Grim has spent years chronicling the rise of progressives in Congress, and his most recent book is The Squad: AOC and the Hope of a Political Revolution, which followed his best-selling We’ve Got People. He’s also the author of the 2009 book This Is Your Country On Drugs.
Nausicaa Renner is the founding editor of Drop Site. She was formerly deputy editor at The Intercept, and writes about politics and psychoanalysis for n+1 and other publications.
