Medford, MA, 2/23/10---The Tufts University Communications and Media 
Studies and Peace and Justice Studies programs are pleased to announce 
the inaugural "Inside the Activist's Study" event featuring prominent 
journalists Amy and David Goodman. The event will take place on Tuesday, 
March 9 at 6PM in Barnum Hall 008 on the Medford Campus.

Modeled after the "Inside the Actor's Studio" TV show, this new series 
brings together prominent journalists, actors, filmmakers, and a 
wide-array of activist leaders to discuss the use of media to promote 
social change. The event will feature in-depth interviews and audience 
participation.

"I can't think of a better way to kick off our series than to have Amy 
and David Goodman at Tufts.  Their work as journalists who go the extra 
mile to uncover difficult stories and their willingness to take a stand 
clearly demonstrates a powerful way that journalism can be a form of 
activism.  We are incredibly excited to have them inaugurate Inside the 
Activist's Study," said Julie Dobrow, Director of the Communications and 
Media Studies program.

Amy Goodman is the host and executive producer of /Democracy Now!,/ a 
national, daily, independent, award-winning news program airing on over 
800 TV and radio stations in North America. David Goodman is a 
contributing writer for /Mother Jones/ and co-author of /Static: 
Government Liars, Media Cheerleaders and the People Who Fight Back. ///
