Takeouts: rowing across the Atlantic, good week/bad week
SPORTS TAKEOUT: At 22 years old, Katie Spotz became the youngest American to row across the Atlantic Ocean alone this week. She chronicled her journey on a blog while she made the journey. Now that she’s back on dry land, she joins The Takeaway to share her story.
GOOD WEEK/ BAD WEEK: We team up with The Week Magazine to take a look at who has had a good week and who hasn’t. This week has been great for CBS, who gets to broadcast Tiger Woods’s return to golf. And it was a bad week to take a nap in your car. A Florida woman fell asleep in her car and woke up somewhere else.
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!
