Worldview provides perspective on events in the world, particularly on how these events impact us in Chicago communities. Chicago is a city of communities with specific concerns both for their lives in our city and how the events in the world impact the lives of all of us.
The more I travel, the more I love Chicago, my own city. For Chicago to be a global city, it needs to be part of the world, and not be isolated within its own walls. Closing in on only local issues is unrealistic in the current world environment, which affects us all.
Worldview brings the world to life to each listener, and makes Chicago relevant as a city. I am concerned that the closure of the show will make Chicago more insular and its citizens unaware of issues that affect them, issues that affect them directly, such as environment, health, human interaction, policies, and politics. Please do not close the show.
