Your American Icon
This fall we’re airing nine new American Icons episodes and we need your ideas for the tenth. Listeners have submitted dozens of suggestions ? including Bruce Springsteen’s ballad “Thunder Road” and Willa Cather’s novel My Antonia. What great creative work would you nominate?
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!
