Every Friday, The Takeaway convenes a panel to look back at the week’s big stories. This week Rick Santorum wins Alabama and Mississippi, March Madness sweeps the country, and liquid detergent becomes a black market commodity. This week we’re joined by Jeff Yang, author of the Tao Jones column for the Wall Street Journal and blogger for It’s A Free Country; journalist and blogger Farai Chideya; and Ron Christie, Republican political strategist and political contributor for The Takeaway and It’s A Free Country.
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!
