Career

Regarding “Democracy Now”, it was formed in February of 1996 in New York by a team of new and potential journalists like Larry Bensky, Amy Goodman, Salim Muwakkil, Denis Moynihan, and Julie Drizin.

With the initiation and low market popularity, the show was first broadcasted on Pacifica Radio, In 1997 another reporter named Jeremy Scahill joined the group and was the co-host of the program, with Denis being the main host.

The principle idea behind the establishment of this company was to cover the news that was ignored or not- known by the main TV channels. This policy would make them a piece of unique news broadcasted and print their separate image on the market.

He worked in some local papers before landing up with his own company. Although Pacifica Radio later said they wouldn’t broadcast them any longer, Denis made a deal with Downtown Community Television Center, in China Town, New York. It got its major headline news with the 9/11 incident and soon extended its broadcasting ways to cable, satellite radio, Internet, and podcasts as well.
