The org chart for the Intercept doesn't look "top heavy", in fact it looks pretty well run. It's a news outlet that sometimes publishes controversial stories that are disliked by various governments, you're probably going to be happy there's a legal team backing you up and a tech team keeping the site up?
- lolc 2y agoI'm more worried about the legal department not restricting themselves to legal opinions. On a newspaper, you'll want lawyers who are willing to field fights with powerful outside entities. If these lawyers are not open to the idea that some rich people are going to be inconvenienced by the reporting, they will not want to help the reporter finding robust ways of publishing dicey material. Sounds like The Intercept got neutered.
