Wild & Scenic and KVMR Co-Present a Special Evening with Amy Goodman

From the Wild & Scenic Film Festival:

Amy Goodman, an award-winning investigative journalist and syndicated columnist, author and the host of Democracy Now! will present a lecture followed by Schooling the World, a film addressing the effects of instituting Western education worldwide, on Jan. 14.

Amy Goodman is the first journalist to receive the Right Livelihood Award, widely known as the ‘Alternative Nobel Prize’ for “developing an innovative model of truly independent grassroots political journalism that brings to millions of people the alternative voices that are often excluded by the mainstream media.” Democracy Now! airs on more than 1000 public television/radio stations worldwide. The Independent of London named Amy Goodman and Democracy Now! “an inspiration” and pulsemedia.org placed Goodman at the head of their 20 Top Global Media Figures.

Goodman is the author of four New York Times bestsellers. Her latest book, Breaking the Sound Barrier, proves the power of independent journalism in the struggle for a better world. She co-authored three other bestsellers, Standing Up to the Madness, Static, and The Exception to the Rulers, with her brother, journalist David Goodman.

Democracy Now!’s War and Peace Report provides their audience with access to people and perspectives rarely heard in the U.S. corporate-sponsored media, including independent and international journalists, ordinary people from around the world who are directly affected by U.S. foreign policy, grassroots leaders and peace activists, artists, academics and independent analysts. In addition, Democracy Now! hosts real debates–debates between people who substantially disagree, such as between the White House or the Pentagon spokespeople on the one hand, and grassroots activists on the other.
