Public Radio International

Public Radio International (PRI) is a major producer/distributor of content for the public radio system. PRI’s The World, its signature program, is a daily global news program that explains the important international news of the day and helps audiences understand how foreign events and issues connect to local and domestic priorities. It is a co-production of PRI, WGBH in Boston, and the BBC World Service. In September 2015, The World announced an acquisition of the reporting and digital assets of GlobalPost, a six-year-old, online-only international news provider that was in its early days a very influential and well-read news site.  With this acquisition, The World adds to its already substantial reporting capacity and greatly enlarges its potential to reach a non-public radio audience online.

Public Radio International is a producer and distributor of public radio programming, including PRI’s "The World," which is a daily international news program carried by over 300 public radio stations with a weekly cumulative audience of nearly 3 million listeners. This grant supports The World to carry out its outstanding and accessible reporting on the important international news of the day, helping Americans understand the interconnections between their communities and the rest of the world.
