WTUL and TUCP are proud to announce that Amy Goodman, host of Democracy
Now!, will be speaking at 5 p.m. April 8 at McAlister Auditorium on the
Tulane campus. The show will be free and open to the public.
Democracy Now! is being aired from 8-10 a.m. Saturdays. It is one of
public broadcasting’s fastest growing programs. The show adheres to its
independent status, and is funded entirely through contributions from
listeners, viewers, and foundations. To maintain its independence from
corporate sponsorship, the program does not accept advertisers,
donations from corporations, or donations from governments. Goodman has
been hosting the program since 1996, and has helped vault the program
from appearing only on Pacifica Radio Network to more than 350 stations
nationwide. The broadcasts are also available online at
http://www.democracynow.org.
In addition to her work with Democracy Now!, Goodman is the co-author of
the national best-seller The Exception to the Rulers: Exposing Oily
Politicians, War Profiteers, and the Media that Love Them, which was
written with her brother, journalist and author David Goodman. The book
was released in 2004.
Goodman will be speaking about How the American Media Compromise Democracy.
