What is Democracy Now!?

Democracy Now! is an award-winning nonprofit news organization that provides independent, ad-free daily coverage of global, national and regional news. Hosted by journalists Amy Goodman and Juan González, Democracy Now! reports stories that are often underreported or completely ignored by mainstream news sources.

First airing in 1996 on just a few radio stations, Democracy Now! now broadcasts on over 1,400 public television and radio stations worldwide. It has a specific mission to give voice to people and perspectives that are not typically represented in corporate-sponsored media.

Democracy Now! covers a wide variety of global news stories related to issues such as human rights, climate change, war and peace, corporate power, racial justice and poverty. However, it maintains a strong focus on stories impacting marginalized communities. The experienced journalists that lead its daily news coverage often conduct interviews with high-profile thought leaders, grassroots activists and individuals impacted by government policies.

In addition to its daily news show, Democracy Now! produces Spanish language content, special coverage for significant news events, and documentaries investigating major issues like climate change and immigration. The broadcast has received numerous awards for its commitment to independent journalism over the past two decades.
