Page "Gandhi Peace Award" Paragraph 8

The Gandhi Peace Award was most recently ( May 2012 ) presented to Amy Goodman for her contribution to promoting a sustainable peace through the promotion of transparently truthful journalism — one essential part of which is to report the true horrors and long-term after-effects of war, to those who support war oblivious to the actual consequences.

Goodman is an internationally known broadcast journalist, syndicated columnist, investigative reporter, author, and the anchor and co-founder of Democracy Now !, an independent global news program broadcast daily on radio and television and via the Internet.
