Iran: Understanding the Unrest
To help put the unrest in Iran into perspective, we turn to three different voices from the Iranian and Iranian-American community. Kelly Niknejad is editor and founder of the Iranian news website Tehran Bureau, Amir Farokhi, an Iranian-American attorney in Atlanta, and “Nahzi” an Iranian artist who wishes to remain anonymous because she will soon return to Iran, all join The Takeaway to discuss what news sources they trust, and what their hopes are for Iran.
Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.
Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
