The World

Mass produced on an assembly line, with a will of its own, it’s 100 years old today: The Ford Model T. The car started a global craze and made Ford Motor Co. one of the world’s largest companies. Guest: Bob Casey, author of “The Model T: A Centennial History”

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

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!
