전기 및 작가의 여정

Amy Goodman was born in Bay Shore, New York, in 1957 and grew up on Long Island in a family shaped by civic engagement and Jewish social-justice traditions. At Harvard, where she completed a degree in anthropology in 1984 after a detour through the College of the Atlantic, she moved between activism, student journalism, and an early interest in public health. She helped found a feminist campus newspaper, later turned her thesis on Depo-Provera into magazine reporting, and discovered in radio a form that could carry voices with a vividness print could not. That discovery led her to Pacifica station WBAI, where she began in 1985 and spent a decade building the habits of independent reporting.
