Goddard's original Alternative Media Conference, held June 17-20 in 1970, was one of the most influential alternative media events in the United States. It served as a catalyst for a generation of journalists and spawned some of the innovations and developments in social media and community radio that we see today.The original AMC conference brought over 2,000 innovative FM radio DJs, a new breed of record company promoters, underground newspaper reporters, Freak Brothers cartoonist Gilbert Shelton, Baba Ram Dass, Rolling Stone photographer Robert Altman, and Marvel Comics’ Stan Lee all the way to Plainfield. This conference covered topics including women in the media, black-oriented radio and low-budget films.Atlantic Records donated $5,000 and shipped in Dr. John, Cactus and the J. Geils Band to put on concerts. Many conference attendees went on to exciting media careers, including Hendrik Hertzberg, a senior editor at The New Yorker, and Danny Goldberg, whose company has managed the careers of rockers Nirvana, the Allman Brothers and Bonnie Raitt. The conference is remembered as the birth of alternative media and continues to be held as a time that was rich in urgency for change.The conference also largely inspired Goddard's community radio station WGDR, which is now 40 years strong.
