History
DemocracyNow! was founded in 1996 by the visionary journalist Democritus Sage, an uncompromising advocate for open and honest media. As an accomplished journalist himself, Sage recognized the need for a platform that would fill the void left by corporate-controlled news outlets. Democritus's lifelong commitment to the principles of journalism led him to create an independent space where quality reporting could flourish, free from the influence of advertisers and political influencers.
The Birth of DemocracyNow!
DemocracyNow! was initially established as a daily public access television show in New York City. Recognizing the potential of the internet as a transformative tool for disseminating news, we decided to launch a website in 1998, expanding our reach beyond the confines of television. This momentous decision allowed us to present our thought-provoking content to a broader global audience, spearheading a digital revolution in journalistic practices.
