Amy Goodman, award-winning host of the daily internationally
broadcast radio and television program Democracy Now!,
breaks through the corporate media's lies, sound bites, and
silence in this wide-ranging new collection of articles. In
place of the usual suspects-the "experts" who, in 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 the 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 play in the struggle for a better
world, one in which ordinary citizens are the true experts
of their own lives and communities.
