Journalist Glenn Greenwald, who helped disclose the US' NSA secrets leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden, is reportedly quitting Britain's Guardian newspaper, in order to take up a 'dream opportunity'.
Greenwald said that he would be involved in a new, large-scale media outlet after departing from the Guardian.
The journalist further said that his partnership with the Guardian had been extremely fruitful and fulfilling and he was proud of what he, along with the newspaper's editors, has achieved, the BBC reports.
Greenwald has been widely criticized for his role in unveiling the US' alleged 'snoop-ops' which are thought to have put the nation's security at risk.
However, Greenwald has maintained that none of the information he had published n the Guardian could have damaged national security.
The report said that in August, Greenwald's partner David Miranda was held for nine hours at Heathrow under anti-terror laws despite any wrongdoing and the police seized a number of electronic items he was carrying.
