Auto-Tune the News
Take ordinary news footage and political commentary, send it through a software tool that makes you sound like a robot, and you have a viral internet hit. That’s what the band The Gregory Brothers did with their series “Auto-Tune the News.” Certain politicians and anchors are inherently musical, say the band members: “Katie Couric is the Queen of Auto-Tune.” Produced by Barrett Golding of Hearing Voices.
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!
