And we’ll imagine a meeting that was planned but never took place between Dr. Freud and movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn.
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.
