An Example of Independent Journalism


Amy Goodman is the anchor for the online show Democracy Now! The show is a weekly hour long videoed segment. News tickers and graphics are kept to the minimum, and usually just contain location, name, and the person’s title. Amy Goodman won the Gandhi Peace Award 2012 and the Fredrick Douglass 2002 Award.

The show is produced by Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez and funded by the Kaplan Fund and the Park, Ford, and Lannan Foundations. The Ford Foundation (one of the wealthiest funds) contributes the highest amount of money toward diversity in higher education with fellowships, the Lannan Foundations supports writers with the goals of cultural freedom and diversity in indigenous in contemporary writing, and the Kaplan Fund focuses is giving on the environment, heritage conservation, and social justice.
