The World

The women of 1941 get their very own newscast. Celeste Headlee introduces an episode of “Women in the News,” presented by the Nehi Bottling Company. We hear news about the first baby delivered during a blackout drill, and how women are getting to know their neighbors better by being air raid wardens. Plus, this week’s winners of Royal Crown Cola cartons.

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! Every gift will be matched 2:1, so your impact will go even further.
