Linking Progressives East and West Since 1997

東西のプログレッシブをつなぐ − 1997年設立  |  Linking Progressives East and West Since 1997

Amy Goodman Visits Japan (Democracy Now, Video News.com,etc.)

January 26, 2014 by tokyoprogressive Leave a Comment

Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman recently vistited Japan. Below are some of the websites and broadcasts that resulted from this trip.

 

Video News: Interview by Jimbo san with Amy Goodman followed by a speech by a 100-year old ex journalist on the dangers of the anti-secret bill (talking about the student/farmer movement against Narita Airport, the anti Japan-US Security Treaty movement and the recently passed secrets bill that threatens to muzzle an already intimidated media.  That is followed by a discussion between Jimbo and his co-host Miyamae san.The thread that links these these stories is that democracy is not something fought for, won and then forgotten; it is a constant struggle-the essence of democracy lies in the awareness that we lose it when we do not fight to keep it.

1) 0:00-2:30 Introduction by Jimbo san

2) 2:33-9:15 Interview with Amy Goodman (subtitled in Japanese/日本語の字幕)

3) 9:20-17:56 99 year-old Muno san speaking before the Jounalists Article 9 Committee

4) 18:00-53:00 Discussion with Miyamae san

From Democracy Now Japan (and her Japan Schedule)

米国は市民メディアの活動が盛んです。中でもニューヨークの独立放送局デモクラシー・ナウ!が放送する毎日1時間のニュース番組は、1000局以上の公共放送系メディアを通じて北米各地に配信され、独立メディアの精鋭として主要メディアからも一目置かれています。広告は一切受けず、視聴者からの寄付と民間の基金で成り立つ非営利組織ですが、革新的で妥協のない報道姿勢には定評があり、国際的にも高い評価を得ています。

 

番組の司会者で総責任者のエイミー・グッドマンは、2008年に「もう一つのノーベル賞」と呼ばれるスウェーデンのライト・ライブリフッド賞をジャーナリストとして初めて受賞しました。グッドマンは他にも多数の賞を受賞しています。ナイジェリアの石油開発とシェブロン社の犯罪を報道して1998年にジョージ・ポーク賞を、また東チモールでインドネシア軍が行った大虐殺事件に遭遇して1993年にロバート・F・ケネディ賞を共同受賞しています。つねに視聴者の思考を促すようなグッドマンの鋭い視点が、番組の大きな魅力となっています。

 

このほどエイミー・グッドマンが上智大学グローバルコンサーン研究所の招聘で2014年1月18日に開かれる国際シンポジウムに出席し、基調講演を行うことになりました。また20日には外国特派員協会(FCCJ)が主催する記者会見も予定しております。米国のオルタナティブ・メディアを代表する人物とジャーナリズムの現状について語り合うめったにない機会です。ふるってご参加ください。

1月18日(土曜)10:00~17:45(9:30開場)
