It documents social movements, struggles for justice, activism challenging corporate power and operates as a watchdog outfit regarding the effects ofAmerican foreign policy.[2]Democracy Now!views as its aim to give activists and the citizenry a platform to debate people from "The Establishment".[2]The show is described asprogressive[4]by fans as well as critics, but Goodman rejects that label, calling the program a global newscast that has "people speaking for themselves".[1]Democracy Now!describes its staff as "includ[ing] some of this country's leading progressive journalists."[5]

From 2001 to 2009, the show was located in theDCTVfirehouse building (a converted firehouse) in New York City'sChinatown.

The show covered theSeattle protests(1999) targeting theWorld Trade Organization.[2]

Democracy Now!partnered withFree Speech TV(FSTV) andDeep Dish Televisionto cover the2000 Democratic National Convention.[16]The event marked a turning point forDemocracy Now!,as in addition to its presence on radio, it became a television show.[17]From then onward,Democracy Now!has had their content promoted and broadcast on FSTV.[18]

Democracy Now!began broadcasting on television every weekday shortly after September 11, 2001, and is the only public media in the U.S. that airs simultaneously on satellite and cable television, radio, and the internet.[19]

Democracy Now!has been critical of theTrans-Pacific Partnership(TPP) trade deal.[20]After data disclosures by thewhistleblowerorganisationWikiLeaksregarding the TPP in 2010,Democracy Now!has given a significant media platform and extensively covered them since, and like some other news networks cooperated with its leaderJulian Assange.[21]Coverage of WikiLeaks byDemocracy Now!was sympathetic.[22]

Democracy Now!began as a radio program broadcast from the studios of WBAI, a local Pacifica Radio station inNew York City.In early September 2001, amid a months-long debate over the mission and management of Pacifica,Democracy Now!was forced out of the WBAI studios. Goodman took the program to theDowntown Community Television Centerlocated in a converted firehouse building in New York City'sChinatown,where the program began to be televised.[27][28]Only a few days later on September 11, 2001Democracy Now!was the closest national broadcast toGround Zero.On that day Goodman and colleagues continued reporting beyond their scheduled hour-long time slot in what became an eight-hour marathon broadcast. Following9/11,in addition to radio and television,Democracy Now!expanded their multimedia reach to includecable,satellite radio,Internet,andpodcasts.[27]

In November 2009,Democracy Now!left their broadcast studio in the converted DCTV firehouse, where they had broadcast for eight years.[28]The studio subsequently moved to a repurposed graphic arts building in theChelsea DistrictofManhattan.[28]In 2010, the new 8,500-square-foot[29]Democracy Now!studio became the first radio or television studio in the nation to receiveLEED Platinumcertification,[30][31]the highest rating awarded by theU.S. Green Building Council.

2008 Republican National Convention arrests[edit]

Three journalists withDemocracy Now!—including principal hostAmy Goodman,and news producers Nicole Salazar and Sharif Abdel Kouddous—were detained by police during their reporting on the2008 Republican National Convention protestsin Saint Paul, Minnesota.[45]Salazar was filming as officers in fullriot gearcharged her area. As she yelled "Press!" she was knocked down and told to put her face in the ground while another officer dragged her backward by her leg across the pavement. The video footage of the incident was immediately posted on the Internet, leading to a large public outcry against her arrest. When a second producer, Kouddous, approached, he too was arrested, and charged with afelony.According to a press release byDemocracy Now!,Goodman herself was arrested after confronting officers regarding the arrest of her colleagues. The officers had established a line of "crowd control", and ordered Goodman to move back. Goodman claims she was arrested after being pulled through the police line by an officer, and subsequently (as well as Kouddous) had her press credentials for the convention physically stripped from her by aSecret Serviceagent.[36][46]All were held on charges of "probable cause for riot".[47]A statement was later released by the city announcing that all "misdemeanor charges for presence at an unlawful assembly for journalists" would be dropped. The felony charges against Salazar and Kouddous were also dropped.[48]

Goodman, Salazar, and Kouddous subsequently filed a lawsuit against the cities ofSt. Paul and Minneapolisas well as other defendants.[48]According to Baher Asmy of theCenter for Constitutional Rights,"[a]ll three plaintiffs that are journalists withDemocracy Nowreached a final settlement with the city of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and the United States Secret Service, that will resolve the claims that they had against them from unlawful and quite violent arrests. "The settlement includes $100,000 in compensation and a promise of police training.[36][49]

Goodman elected to turn herself in. Three days before the court date, the charges were increased to engaging in a riot, which carried a penalty of up to 30 days in jail and a $1,500 fine.[53]On October 17, 2016, the judge quickly dismissed the charges, but Morton County prosecutors insisted the case is still open and that they may pursue further charges in the future.[53][54]Goodman asserted the importance of freedom of the press and said thatDemocracy Now!would continue covering the developing situation in North Dakota.[53][54]
