Weekdays 11:00 pm 12:00 am

Democracy Now! began in 1996 when Amy Goodman started hosting a show on Pacifica Radio to focus on the issues and movements that are too often ignored by the corporate media. Today, Democracy Now! is the largest public media collaboration in the United States, broadcasting on over 1,400 public television and radio stations around the world, with millions accessing it online at democracynow.org. The hour-long program airs live each weekday at 8 a.m. Eastern Time and combines news reporting, interviews, investigative journalism, and political commentary, documenting social movements, struggles for justice, and activism challenging corporate power. As “the modern day underground railroad of information,” Democracy Now! goes to where the silence is, bringing voices from the streets of Ferguson to Staten Island, Wall Street, East Timor, and other places where people are rising up to demand justice.

Hosted by award-winning journalists Amy Goodman (who also serves as executive producer), Juan González, and Nermeen Shaikh, Democracy Now! provides people speaking for themselves—a unique and sometimes provocative perspective on global events. Amy Goodman has been the main host since 1996 and is an acclaimed international journalist who has won the Right Livelihood Award (known as the Alternative Nobel Prize), a lifetime achievement award from Harvard’s Nieman Foundation for Journalism, the George Polk Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Prize for International Reporting, and the Thomas Merton Award. Her investigative journalism career includes coverage of the East Timor independence movement, Morocco’s occupation of Western Sahara, and Chevron Corporation’s role in Nigeria. Democracy Now! is funded entirely through contributions from listeners, viewers, and foundations—refusing government funding, corporate sponsorship, and advertising revenue to maintain its independence. The show has received numerous journalism awards and operates as a 501(c)3 nonprofit news organization with over $36 million in assets.
