Our reporting in 2025 covered some of the most pressing issues of our time. As executive producer of Reveal, I've had a front-row seat to some truly powerful investigations this year, and there are even more in the pipeline that I can't wait to share.
Public media is built on the idea that people should have access to rigorous, ethical, fact-based reporting, even if they can't afford to donate. But the bottom line is: We can't do our work without the support of listeners who care enough to help us pay the bills. If you're in a position to make a year-end gift before December 31, please do—and consider a recurring monthly gift for maximum impact.
This year, public media came under direct attack. Congress voted to clawback funding for public broadcasting. In our November 22 show, "In Rural America, Public Media Saves Lives," host Al Letson interviewed Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski—one of just two Republicans who broke ranks. She told us: "I have long been a supporter of public broadcasting. I see the value in real time in my state."
I’m confident you've seen that value. So have millions more Americans who depend on public media.
But right now only a few thousand people chip in to power Reveal's investigations. I hope you’ll join them. Become a member today and support the journalism you rely on with a gift of any amount before December 31.
