During the 2008 Republican National Convention, several of Amy Goodman's colleagues from Democracy Now! were arrested and detained by police while reporting on an anti-war protest outside the RNC. While trying to ascertain the status of her colleagues, Goodman herself was arrested and held, accused of "obstructing a legal process" and "interfering with a peace officer", while fellow Democracy Now! producers were held on charges of "probable cause for riot". Some sources have criticized the arrests of the producers as unlawful and a violation of the freedom of the press. Goodman and her colleagues were later released, but as of September 2008 they still face charges stemming from their arrests, although City Attorney John Choi has indicated that the charges will be dropped.
