View this email in your browser December 24-31, 2016 Share Tweet Forward Editor's Picks How We Held the Powerful Accountable in 2016 In 2016, The Intercept published some 1,800 stories. We covered everything from secrecy and corruption in politics to misuses of technology, attacks on civil liberties, environmental crimes, the police state, military adventurism, and the frequent failure of mainstream media to accurately report on and reflect the world around us. Here is a roundup of 12 stories that we recommend revisiting on the cusp of 2017. They don't make for light holiday reading, but they each in their own way bring reality into sharper focus. We count on Intercept readers to derive a certain grim satisfaction from that. We're grateful to all of you who read and shared our stories, and we hope you keep coming back. In a moment rife with uncertainties, at least one thing is clear: Adversarial journalism will be more important than ever in the years ahead.
