I'm Brett — I oversee NPR’s coverage of the growing power and influence of the tech industry for NPR.
This year, we've noticed many communities have something in common: AI and data centers. They have become a major issue ahead of the midterm elections. People are forging alliances that cut across party lines as their interests align on data centers and the AI industry.
With over 200 newsrooms, the NPR Network can capture a uniquely comprehensive picture of how any one issue (like this one!) affects people across the country. No fly-in reporting here: Journalists are a part of the local communities they serve, speaking directly with people and even witnessing events firsthand.
In addition to our ability to report at both the local and national levels, what sets our coverage apart is that our only interest is the public interest. As public media, we have no shareholders or profit imperative. We are only accountable to the public.
What makes this possible? Your support. When people like you donate, it allows us to tell these stories as they should be told. Together, we amplify unheard voices and hold power to account.
Now is your moment. Join the community of people who power this work by making a donation today. As we transform without federal funding, your gift ensures the NPR Network can continue delivering journalism that serves you — and only you — the public. |
