Juan González Writes Final Column for New York Daily News

HeadlineMay 02, 2016

And Democracy Now! co-host Juan González has penned his final column for the New York Daily News, where he’s worked for 29 years. Over the years, Juan has used his column to break major corruption scandals and cover-ups, including the attempt to conceal the health impacts of the toxic dust released on 9/11. In his sign-off, Juan wrote: “I opted to become a voice from another part of urban America. Not writing about outcast neighborhoods, but from them. Not simply to entertain, but to change. Not after the fact, but before it, when coverage could still make a difference.”
