Last week on The World we told you about an app that some overseas and military voters will be using to cast ballots in US primaries and the presidential election. An MIT report out today says the app is riddled with security vulnerabilities, including ones that would “allow different kinds of adversaries to alter, stop, or expose a user’s vote.” The World’s Lydia Emmanouilidou, who was first to report on how the app will be used in this election, gives us an update.
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.
