Thirty years ago today, The World went on the air for the first time. To help us celebrate this milestone, we turn to Neil Curry who helped create the show and was The World’s first executive producer. We also hear from our reporters Matthew Bell and Shirin Jafaari, who discuss how their coverage of major global news evolved after the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington.
The story you just read is not locked behind a paywall because listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World. Can we count on you?
