"We’ll continue to champion the invaluable work of stations, journalists, and independent creators.

We’re deeply grateful to public media’s listeners and supporters. Our mission continues with strong resolve."

"At PRX, we remain steadfast in our commitment to public media organizations and producers who inform millions of Americans with vital news, inspire through storytelling, and provide cultural connection."

A message from Kerri Hoffman, CEO of PRX:

"The vote in the U.S. Senate and Congress to eliminate federal funding for public media is a devastating blow to communities and journalism nationwide."

Urge Your Senators: Remove the Proposal to Cut Public Media Funding The Senate will soon consider a rescissions package that would take back approved public media funding. Call your Senators now!

Within days, the Senate will vote on legislation that would devastate public media. Call your Senators now and urge them to remove public media funding cuts from the rescissions package. bit.ly/3GqqF7y #ProtectMyPublicMedia

LONG SHADOW: BREAKING THE INTERNET episode two podcast cover overlaid over flash mob

As people grew more familiar with the internet and its utility, they began to using it to mobilize for different causes — from the 9/11 hijackers to flashmob pranksters to activists, the internet put power in the hands of the people, for better and for worse.

Long Shadow: Breaking the Internet Trailer (Season 4) #LongShadow #podcast #americanhistory When was the last time you felt good about the internet? Today’s online landscape is a harrowing one. People screaming at each other on social media. Violent videos going viral. Cyberbullying, racism, misogyny. Back in the day, the web gave power to the people, and going online could actually be fun. In "Long Shadow: Breaking the Internet," host Garrett Graff retraces 30 years of web history — a tangle of GIFs, blogs, apps, and hashtags — to answer the bewildering question many ask when they go online today: “How did we get here?” It’s the story of mankind’s greatest invention, a tool that gave everyone access to all the world’s information and unlocked democracy across the globe. But "Long Shadow: Breaking the Internet" is also about the biggest crisis facing society today: how the web's unlimited feed of data morphed into a firehose of hoaxes, conspiracy theories, and lies that divided Americans over things we once agreed on, like science, diversity, and even democracy itself. Subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts to be the first to hear when it drops on Tuesday, June 24. LONG SHADOW is produced by the award-winning journalism studio Long Lead and distributed by PRX. For more visit www.longlead.com and www.longshadowpodcast.com.
