Amy Goodman from democracy now spoke at the university of maryland school of public works on Fri. April 16
'Amy Goodman is an American broadcast journalist, syndicated columnist and author.
A 1984 graduate of Harvard University,[1] Goodman is best known as the principal host of Democracy Now!, a public radio/television/internet news program. She also attended the College of the Atlantic, in Bar Harbor, Maine.[2]
Coverage of the peace and human rights movements—and support of the independent media—are the hallmarks of her work. Michael Delli Carpini, dean of the Annenberg School for Communication, said, "She's not an editorialist. She sticks to the facts... She provides points of view that make you think, and she comes at it by saying: 'Who are we not hearing from in the traditional media?'"[3]
As an investigative journalist, she has received acclaim for exposés of human rights violations in East Timor and Nigeria. Goodman is the first journalist to receive the Right Livelihood Award.''
