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 grassroots political journalism that brings to millions of people the alternative voices that are often excluded by the mainstream media.”

Goodman is the author of four New York Times bestsellers. Her latest book is Breaking the Sound Barrier. She writes a weekly column, which is also produced as an audio podcast and syndicated by King Features. She was recognized for the column in 2007 with the James Aronson Award for Social Justice Reporting.
