Activities or mission (Part I)
THE INTERCEPT MEDIA, INC. IS THE PUBLISHER OF THE INTERCEPT, A NEWS ORGANIZATION THAT EDUCATES THE PUBLIC THOUGH ITS INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM WITH A FOCUS ON POLITICS, ENVIRONMENT, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, NATIONAL SECURITY, TECHNOLOGY AND IMMIGRATION. DURING 2023, THE INTERCEPT PURSUED ITS TRADEMARK MIX OF DEEP INVESTIGATIONS, HARD HITTING SCOOPS AND INCISIVE ANALYSIS. THE INTERCEPT COVERED CORRUPTION AT THE SUPREME COURT, RON DESANTIS'S RUTHLESS POLITICAL MACHINE, QUESTIONABLE AI WEAPONS DETECTION SYSTEMS, AND THE GROWING PHENOMENON OF SURVEILLANCE BY HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS. IT EXPOSED FBI ENTRAPMENT SCHEMES, ONE OF WHICH TARGETED A MENTALLY DISABLED CHILD. THE INTERCEPT ENDED THE YEAR WITH A BLOCKBUSTER ARTICLE ON HOW THE UNITED STATES STATE DEPARTMENT TRIED TO INFLUENCE PAKISTAN'S NEUTRALITY TOWARD THE WAR IN UKRAINE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
