Amy Goodman appeared on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal to discuss her 40-year career, the Iran conflict, press freedom, and the Steal This Story, Please! documentary with host Taylor Popielarz. Warning against the silencing of journalists, Goodman reminded viewers: “Independent media is the oxygen of a democracy.”

About Steal This Story, Please!

Oscar-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin (Trouble the Water, The Janes) take us behind the scenes with the warm, wisecracking granddaughter of an Orthodox rabbi — raised in a tradition of asking hard questions – as she navigates a news landscape reshaped by technology, corporate consolidation, and political assaults on truth itself. Urgent, provocative and unexpectedly funny, Steal This Story, Please! is both a call to action and a celebration of resistance, posing the question: what happens to democracy when the press surrenders to power?
