DU has been a centre of messenger-shooting, so Greenwald has been made a central part of the story here. Most of the world have just read the articles, whoever writes them, and thought about the NSA. Snowden, being the one who copied the information, and travelled the world, and eventually got into Russia. Greenwald is not well known. So Reuters, writing for a general audience, rather than a Greenwald-hating one, says "Snowden writer".
