Hi there,

This month, Democracy Now! marks 29 years of fearless independent journalism. Presidents have come, gone and come back again, but Democracy Now! remains, playing the same critical role in our democracy: shining a spotlight on corporate and government abuses of power and raising up the voices of scholars, advocates, scientists, activists, artists and ordinary people working for a more peaceful and just world. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today in honor of our 29th anniversary. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Reese Erlich, Author and Reporter on U.S. Imperialism, Dies After Battle with Cancer

HeadlineApr 09, 2021

Longtime reporter and author Reese Erlich has died after a battle with prostate cancer. He co-authored the best-selling book “Target Iraq: What the News Media Didn’t Tell You.” He also published books on U.S. foreign policy in Iran, Cuba and Syria. In his final column for The Progressive, published just two weeks ago, Erlich wrote, “I hope I’ve helped explain some complicated world issues you might not otherwise have understood. I hope the activism earlier in my life and my writing and speeches later have helped bring about progressive change.” Click here to see our interviews with Reese Erlich.
