Breaking the Sound Barrier
Description
The host of Democracy Now! breaks through the corporate media's lies, sound bites, and silence in this New York Times-bestselling collection of articles. In place of the usual suspects-the "experts" who, in Amy Goodman's words, "know so little about so much, explain the world to us, and get it so wrong"-this accessible, lively collection allows the voices the corporate media exclude and ignore to be heard loud and clear. From community organizers in New Orleans, to the courageous American soldiers who've said "no" to Washington's wars, to victims of torture and police violence, we are given the extraordinary opportunity to hear ordinary people standing up and speaking out. Written with all of the fierce intelligence and passion for truth that millions have come to expect from Amy Goodman's reportage, Breaking the Sound Barrier proves the power that independent journalism can have in the struggle for a better world, one in which ordinary citizens are the true experts of their own lives and communities. Praise for Amy Goodman and Breaking the Sound Barrier "Amy Goodman has taken investigative journalism to new heights." -Noam Chomsky, leading public intellectual and author of Hopes and Prospects "Amy, as you will discover on every page of this book, knows the critical question for journalists is how close they are to the truth, not how close they are to power." -From the foreword by Bill Moyers, author of Moyers on America "What journalism should be: beholden to the interests of people, not power and profit." -Arundhati Roy, author of The End of Imagination "Those unfamiliar with Goodman's work will discover a bold voice that refuses to mince words regardless of the topic or target, along with a wealth of behind-the-headlines reporting." -Publishers Weekly
