We’re kicking off a new series today called “Generation 9/11.” All week long, in honor of the tenth anniversary of 9/11, we’ll be talking with and about young people who were coming of age during the September 11 attacks. We begin our series with Dr. Nassir Ghaemi. Dr. Ghaemi is Director of the Mood Disorders Program at Tufts Medical Center and author of a new book called “A First Rate Madness: Leadership and Mental Illness.” We’ll also be hearing sound from Jillian Suarez and Erin Reeg – young people who are reporters for “Radio Rookies” on our flagship station, WNYC. “Radio Rookies” has its own series on Generation 9/11, that will be airing through this Friday.
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!
