Selections from a recent talk in Cambridge, MA, by journalist Amy Goodman, longtime host of "Democracy Now!" Goodman tells stories that explore the corruption of the corporate media and that show ordinary people fighting back against the System--sometimes successfully.
This week, many of her stories come from the recent past--specifically 2011. Highlights include the trial and execution of Troy Davis, popular rebellion in Wisconsin, Occupy Wall Street, and some memorable climate activism.
Goodman spoke in Cambridge on May 10, 2016. The original 75-minute recording--which I have condensed and edited--courtesy of Stan Robinson for Truth and Justice Radio (truthandjusticeradio.org). The original is available on radio4all.net.
Goodmans new book (with Denis Moynihan and David Goodman) is "Democracy Now!: 20 Years Covering the Movements Changing America."
"New World Notes" is produced under the auspices (Latin for "average quality") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
