Amy Goodman, host and co-founder of Democracy Now!, is one of the most consequential journalists of our time. for 30 years, she has investigated some of the world's most pressing challenges, often putting herself at personal risk to bring neglected stories to the public.
unlike many media organizations, democracy now! accepts no corporate funding. goodman has encouraged journalists and citizens to “steal the story” by learning from important investigations and amplifying their messages. her new film, steal the story, please, celebrates this powerful philosophy and the vital role of independent journalism.
goodman's courageous reporting
, including her coverage of the uprising in East Timor, demonstrated the risks journalists sometimes take to expose injustice and human suffering. her Jewish family history, including relatives lost in the holocaust, gives additional depth to her lifelong commitment to human rights and justice.
For three decades, Amy Goodman has been a powerful voice for truth, accountability and peace. she richly deserves consideration for the Nobel Peace Prize . to many of us, she has been a north star for courageous journalism.
