Amy Goodman Receives “Right Livelihood Award”

Yes yes Yes Amy Goodman receives "Right Livelihood Award". Could not go to a better Journalist. No issue, no topic is "off limits" to Amy Goodman.
Amy Goodman
"…for developing an innovative model of truly independent political journalism that brings to millions of people the alternative voices that are often excluded by mainstream media."

The media is sometimes called the fourth estate in a democracy. But in many countries of the world, the media is today no longer willing or able to play this role. Instead it defers to commercial and political interests, thus eroding democracy. With Democracy Now!, Amy Goodman has shown what the alternative to this dangerous trend can look like. Democracy Now! is the largest public media collaboration in the U.S. which is now available to people seeking alternative viewpoints around the globe.
