On this episode of Out d'Coup LIVE, I welcome Eleanor Goldfield to the show. We'll be talking about her latest article in TruthOut, "If the Police Can Decide Who Qualifies as a Journalist, There is No Free Press." In that piece she spotlights the arrests of two journalists arrested while covering the eviction of unhoused people from a public park in Asheville, NC. The case has received limited national coverage, but it marks another moment in the withering away of Constitutional protections for the press.
Eleanor Goldfield is a creative radical, journalist, and filmmaker. Mutual aid and community organizing are cornerstones of her work and personal life, informing both her journalistic and artistic projects.
Her written and photo journalism has appeared in independent publications across the U.S. and internationally. She is one of the 2020 recipients of the “Women and Media Award” presented by The Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press. She is currently a board member of the Media Freedom Foundation.
Recently, she released her first solo EP, titled “No Solo,” after more than a decade fronting the political hard rock band Rooftop Revolutionaries.
Her recent documentary film, “Hard Road of Hope,” which covers the radical history and present struggles in West Virginia has been widely acclaimed.
Currently, Eleanor is the co-host of the podcast Common Censored along with Lee Camp as well as the Project Censored radio show with Mickey Huff.
