 has taken investigative journalism to new heights of exciting, informative, 
 and probing analysis."—Noam Chomsky\n\n"You can learn more of the truth 
 about Washington and the world from one week of Amy Goodman's Democracy 
 Now! (www.democracynow.org) than from a month of Sunday morning talk shows. 
 Make that a year of Sunday talk shows. That's because Amy, as you will 
 discover on every page of this book, knows the critical question for 
 journalists is how close they are to the truth, not how close they are to 
 power."--From the Preface by Bill Moyers\n\nAmy Goodman, award-winning host 
 of the daily internationally broadcast radio and television program 
 Democracy Now!, breaks through the corporate media's lies, sound bites, and 
 silence in this wide-ranging new collection of articles. In place of the 
 usual suspects—the "experts" who, in Goodman's words, "know so little 
 about so much, explain the world to us, and get it so wrong"—this 
 accessible, lively collection allows the voices the corporate media exclude 
 and ignore to be heard loud and clear. From community organizers in New 
 Orleans, to the courageous American soldiers who've said "No" to 
 Washington's wars, to the victims of torture and police violence, we are 
 given the extraordinary opportunity to hear ordinary people standing up and 
 speaking out. Written with all of the fierce intelligence and passion for 
 truth that millions have come to expect from Amy Goodman's reportage, 
 Breaking the Sound Barrier proves the power that independent journalism can 
 play in the struggle for a better world, one in which ordinary citizens are 
 the true experts of their own lives and communities.\n\nAmy Goodman is an 
 award-winning investigative journalist and syndicated columnist, author and 
 the host/executive producer of Democracy Now! airing on nearly 800 stations 
 worldwide. Goodman is the first journalist to receive the Right Livelihood 
 Award, widely known as the 'Alternative Nobel Prize' for "developing an 
 innovative model of truly independent grassroots political journalism that 
 brings to millions of people the alternative voices that are often excluded 
 by the mainstream media." Goodman is the co-author with her brother, 
 journalist David Goodman, of three New York Times bestsellers: Standing Up 
 to the Madness, Static, and The Exception to the Rulers.\n\n
