The World

Every week, in cooperation with The Week magazine, we explore who had a good week and who had a bad week. This week, our good week award goes to venerable groundhog Punxsutawney Phil, who in spite of protestations by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, predicted six more weeks of winter.

Meanwhile, things weren’t so great for Taylor Swift. The country singer gets our bad week award for not only sang out of key at the Grammys, but also broke one of her trophies.

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!
