Juan González Writes Final Column for New York Daily News
---------------------------------------------------------

And Democracy Now! co-host Juan González has penned his final column for
the New York Daily News, where he's worked for 29 years. Over the years,
Juan has used his column to break major corruption scandals and
cover-ups, including the attempt to conceal the health impacts of the
toxic dust released on 9/11. In his sign-off, Juan wrote: "I opted to
become a voice from another part of urban America. Not writing about
outcast neighborhoods, but from them. Not simply to entertain, but to
change. Not after the fact, but before it, when coverage could still
make a difference."
