The World from PRX and GBH searches out new perspectives on the biggest international stories, while finding moments of joy that keep listeners connected across borders. This year, Carolyn Beeler joined Marco Werman as co-host, bringing her expertise as the show's longtime environment correspondent and editor to the role. The World continued reporting initiatives to cover the intersection of religion and nationalism around the globe, and brought listeners insights into higher education and how countries beyond the US pay for it.
-Following the reverberating impacts of global conflict takes heavy investment in planning, preparation, and security training. Part of The World's mandate is not just to cover what journalists refer to as “the bang-bang” — the daily exchange of hostilities — but also everyday life in war zones. In April, Marco and a team of World journalists spent a week bringing the program to listeners from Israel — they were on the ground during an incoming missile attack from Iran. Earlier, The World's Shirin Jaafari accompanied the Jordanian air force on an aid drop over Gaza — a reporting effort that took weeks to arrange and was approved just hours before departure. Jaafari managed to cross the Iraq-Jordan border in time to board the early morning flight and describe a rare view of the destruction in the Gaza strip.
