Liberty, Peace and Media: Amy Goodman And The Freedom Of The Press - Excellent journalists in extraordinary times ...is a book about some important parts of the work of the journalist, broadcast journalist and author of several books Amy Goodman, which is also host of Democracy NOW! The television and radio program Democracy NOW ! is standing for truly independent journalism and education.
Amy Goodman a Harvard University graduate is the first journalist ever which has received in December 2008 in the city of Stockholm in SWEDEN the Right Livelihood Award as known also as the Alternative Nobel Prize. Amy Goodman can be also best described as an excellent journalist, peace activist and a true voice for peace.
Amy Goodman has said during an interview on MSNBC television in New York City, United States of America: «Negotiation is the only one answer. There is got to be an answer other then war.» Perhaps statements like these by Amy Goodman, which are also controversial discussed has caused to ask another colleague and journalist the question: «Is there anyone which can not love Amy Goodman?» Since 1984 I am working as independent journalist, broadcast journalist and author of several books. Three books which I have written have been published in 2008. In 1986 I became the founder of the international media project association and media network IBS Independent Broadcasting Service Liberty, Radio IBS Liberty and IBS Television Liberty, which is supporting international understanding since 1986.
In December 2008 when Amy Goodman (United States of America), Dr. Monika Hauser, (Swiss-Italian, medica mondiale Germany), Krishnammal Jagannathan and her husband (India) and Asha Hagi (Somalia) have received the Right Livelihood Award as known as the Alternative Nobel Prize I had the chance and duty to travel to Stockholm in Sweden for special research and reports on radio, television and papers and I am very thankful that I had the chance to meet my colleagueand journalist Amy Goodman from Democracy NOW!
Amy Goodman is an excellent and amazing journalist, broadcast journalist and author which has written with her brother David Goodman three hard hitting books, such as «Standing Up To The Madness - Ordinary Heroes in Extraordinary Times», «STATIC - Government Liars. Media Cheer Leaders And The People Who Fight Back», and «The Exception To The Rulers, Exposing Oily Politicians, War Profiteers and the Media That Love Them».

Amy Goodman has said: «We need a media in this country that is open to the voice of the peace. Negotiation is the only one answer. There is got to be an answer other then war.» I am able to agree with my colleague Amy Goodman and her statement is making sense to me and my hope is it will make sense to other people in this world also.
