Is Shadowproof affiliated with Firedoglake or FDL?

Firedoglake was a predecessor of Shadowproof and you can read about our history on our About page. However, we are an entirely separate organization. While Shadowproof proudly hosts the Firedoglake reporting archive, we’re a separate company. Unfortunately, this means we’re unlikely to be able to help you with any questions or other needs regarding FDL.
