Here’s how to watch Twitter’s Jack Dorsey interview Edward Snowden today

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey will interview CIA whistleblower Edward Snowden via video conference Tuesday morning, and you’ll be able to watch the conversation for free online.

The simplest way to watch is by visiting the @PardonSnowden Twitter account, which will tweet out a Periscope broadcast that you can watch directly from your Twitter feed.

That option is watch-only, though. If you’d like to interact with the video by posting a comment, for example, you’ll need to download the Periscope app from Apple’s App Store or the Google Play store.

Twitter is not promoting this video like the other livestreamed content it’s been pushing the past six months. Those videos, like the NFL’s “Thursday Night Football” games and Bloomberg’s television programs, get special notifications and placement along the righthand side of the Twitter feed. The company tells us the Dorsey-Snowden interview won’t get that same treatment.

The interview starts at 9:05 am PT Tuesday.

Update: Here’s the live Periscope stream of Snowden’s interview.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
