Democracy Now! is an independent award winning programme hosted by journalists Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez. Democracy Now! is broadcast on hundred of radio stations in the United States and the world.
Democracy Now! provides the audience with access to people and perspectives rarely heard in the US corporate-sponsored media including independent and international journalists, ordinary people from around the world who are directly affected by U.S. foreign policy, grassroots leaders and peace activists, artists, academics and independent analysts.
In addition, Democracy Now! hosts real debates–debates between people who substantially disagree, such as between the White House or the Pentagon spokespeople on the one hand, and grassroots activists on the other.
Radio PrismaPrisma broadcasts Democracy Now! in English every day at 20:00 (GMT +2). The broadcast is repeated at 09:00 (GMT) the following morning.
Also, Radio PrismaPrisma broadcasts Democracy Now! in Spanish at midnight (GMT +2). The broadcast is repeated at 07:00 (GMT) the following morning.

WHY INDEPENDENT MEDIA ?
For true democracy to work, people need easy access to independent, diverse sources of news and information.
But the last two decades have seen unprecedented corporate media consolidation. The U.S. media was already fairly homogeneous in the early 1980s: some fifty media conglomerates dominated all media outlets, including television, radio, newspapers, magazines, music, publishing and film. In the year 2000, just six corporations dominated the U.S. media.
In addition, corporate media outlets in the U.S. are legally responsible to their shareholders to maximize profits.
Democracy Now! is funded entirely through contributions from listeners, viewers, and foundations. We do not accept advertisers, corporate underwriting, or government funding. This allows us to maintain our independence.
