Three decades of 'Democracy Now!': Amy Goodman's fight for independent media
Thursday, 16 April, 2026
For once, veteran journalist Amy Goodman is answering the questions instead of asking them. The longtime host of the daily news program "Democracy Now!" is the subject of a riveting documentary, "Steal This Story, Please." The film goes behind the scenes with Goodman, the sharp-witted granddaughter of an Orthodox rabbi, as she navigates a media landscape reshaped by rapid technological change, corporate consolidation and mounting political pressure on the truth. Goodman joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss working with Oscar Award-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin to bring her story to the screen. She also emphasized the enduring importance of independent, listener-supported journalism rooted in the Pacifica Radio tradition. She argued that the media can serve as a force for peace, especially when it centers the voices of people closest to the story, rather than relying on distant pundits.
