Now that Obama has finally picked his running mate, the Democrats start day one of their convention in Denver with big news. But the man at the top of the ticket still has a big job of selling himself to Americans who may know his name, but not what he stands for. Guest: Ben Calhoun, Chicago Public Radio

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!
