Amy Goodman on Journalism; Indigenously Positive

This week on New Mexico in Focus, Host Nash Jones sits down with a journalism icon they’ve long admired: Amy Goodman. The longtime host and executive producer of Democracy Now! was in Santa Fe for an event and spoke with Nash about the possibilities for journalism as a force for positive change. 

Hannah Burling, president of the League of Women Voters of New Mexico, joins us to talk about the customizable voter guide her organization puts together each year. 

As the end of Domestic Violence Awareness Month nears, we spotlight the New Mexico Sexual Assault Helpline’s first anniversary and hear from two directors about the impact it has had. 

And Indigenously Positive Producer/Host Bella Davis (Yurok) takes us to an event at Albuquerque’s Tiguex Park to show us why every day is Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
