The World

It’s been a year since the death of the King of Pop. Singer-songwriter Judith Hill was hired to perform with Michael Jackson on his never-realized tour. She could make a career in Jackson’s shadow, but she’s ready to step out on her own. Produced by Lisa Katayama.

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!
