Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. It’s the beginning of a new chapter — but we’re not going anywhere.
Here in Detroit, WDET is part of the same national public media network as NPR. Together, we bring you fact-based journalism and cultural storytelling that isn’t driven by shareholders or political interests.
With your support, NPR and WDET will continue to deliver honest, rigorous reporting, amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard, and stand firmly behind our First Amendment right to a free press.
Your donation on this historic day protects one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself, understand one another and acknowledge that we belong to one always-changing story. Show you’re with us on the road ahead. Visit wdet.org/give to help keep WDET strong.
