<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Cambria","serif";">Modeled after
the “Inside the Actor’s Studio”

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

"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. </p>
