Friday on The World:
We hear memories from around the world of President John F. Kennedy, and of the day he was assassinated 50 years ago.
Plus, an American veteran of the Korean War is detained in North Korea.
And, the hit song by a Belgian nun that topped the charts in the weeks after the death of JFK.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever! Every gift will be matched 2:1, so your impact will go even further.
