It’s been two years since the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 pandemic. In many nations around the globe, cases are now way down and COVID-19 precautions like masking, social distancing and vaccine mandates are being lifted. Two years in, Marco Werman looks back with Suerie Moon, co-director of the Global Health Program at Geneva’s Graduate Institute, to assess the global response to the pandemic.
Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.
Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
