Amy Goodman, Host and Executive Producer of Democracy Now!

Journalist Amy Goodman pulls back the veil of corporate media reporting to dig deep into the politics of “climate apartheid,” the implications of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the movement to halt the execution of Troy Anthony Davis and the globalization of dissent from Tahrir Square to Liberty Plaza. Goodman shows how ordinary people are organizing to change their media—and change the world. AMY GOODMAN is the host and executive producer of Democracy Now!, a national, daily, independent, award-winning news program airing on over 1,200 public television and radio stations worldwide. Time magazine named Democracy Now! its “Pick of the Podcasts,” along with NBC’s Meet the Press.
