Radiowaves - 8 - Amy Goodman (extended) by The Public Radio published on 2015-04-10T15:53:35Z Throughout her reporting career, Amy Goodman has distinguished herself as one of the most outspoken and principled journalists in the country. 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 show that now airs on over 1300 stations across the United States and around the world. In this interview we speak with Amy about her early childhood forays into journalism, about a harrowing chapter she experienced reporting on the brutal the occupation of East Timor, and discuss her philosophy of why a healthy independent media is so crucial.

The topics of conversation are varied and of interest to me personally, politically, and ethically. I am recent fan of Amy's on Democracy Now and have been listening every day for several weeks. I had no prior knowledge of Amy's work, career, life or experiences, and learned so much from this interview. I was not educated about events in East TImor before listening. I agree with Amy's views about modern journalists being compromised via relationships with the government. I can't begin to explain as she does, but I got alot out of this discussion and appreciate it very much. Thank you. 2017-04-19T17:22:01Z
