4/14/2015

0 Comments

 
Throughout her decades long reporting career, Amy Goodman has distinguished herself as one of America's most outspoken and principled journalists. Not only that, as the host and driving force behind the daily current affairs program Democracy Now! she helped create a worldwide movement in independent media, and a program that now airs on over 1300 stations across the United States and around the world. 
“I started in radio and I remember feeling that power of privilege that the microphone gives you, and how important that is. You walk into someone’s house and they open up to you.” - Amy Goodman
In this interview we speak with Amy about her early childhood forays into journalism, about her years at Harvard as an undergraduate and her time spent working in Maine at a co-op where she became increasingly political, and discuss her philosophy as to why a healthy independent media is so crucial to a functioning democracy.
