Big news: I’m delighted to announce that I will be taking up the position of CEO of NPR starting in late March. NPR has been a lifelong part of my soundscape, and I credit its reporting with sparking my curiosity that set me onto the path to become the person I am today.
I miss my friend Alaa. He has been in arbitrarily detained in Egypt for years for advocating for respect for human rights and democracy. Please help us remind people of the importance of his case:
Today, Alaa's family have filed an urgent appeal with the United Nations.
Alaa is arbitrarily detained, in contravention of international law and today's petition requests urgent action from the UN. Please share widely to help.
