Twitter campaign

The World

In an historic case of internet people power, Twitter users were able to bypass lawyers’ attempts in Britain to stop the Guardian newspaper’s coverage of a major scandal. We talk with writer and fundraiser Richard Wilson who started the Twitter thread.

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!
