The World is a US public radio news magazine with an emphasis on international news. The program originated partly in response to declining coverage of international news by US commercial media. It is co-produced by WGBH and the Public Radio Exchange (PRX) of the United States. As of October 2009, the program also now airs on CBC Radio One in Canada as part of the CBC Radio Overnight lineup. The original theme music was composed by Eric Goldberg, but it was replaced in July 2019 with new theme music composed by Ned Porter.
