When you think of progressive independent broadcasting, Amy Goodman???s name is often the first one that comes to mind. Goodman, longtime host of Democracy Now!, sees journalism as a social justice mission, and has been an inspiration to young journalists and a voice for the oppressed for years. She has a new book out, Breaking the Sound Barrier, a collection of her syndicated columns, and she joined Laura in the studio to talk about creating independent media in a corporate world, the responsibility of people in the U.S. to be aware and active in the world, and the broken health care system she faced down recently while dealing with her mother's terminal illness.
