What is Journalist and Spy?

Journalist and Spy features monthly, short profiles of journalists who were spies, and spies who used journalism as a cover for espionage. Over on Glitch Cat, I write about journalism, security, and digital rights, and sometimes fact-check articles and policy proposals.
