  • The joys of reporting on 3 teenagers chasing glory in the World Series of Birding

    The joys of reporting on 3 teenagers chasing glory in the World Series of Birding
    Jun 13 2026
    Reporting assignments can often lead to unexpected joys and lessons. That was the case when NPR's Natalie Escobar and Ava Berger were sent on the road to tag along with three teenage boys competing in the World Series of Birding. The teens had 24 hours to crisscross New Jersey and tally up the number of bird species they spotted. For this week's Reporter's Notebook we hear from Escobar and Berger about how the assignment was both challenging and illuminating.

  • SpaceX goes public and is now worth trillions. What happens now?

    SpaceX goes public and is now worth trillions. What happens now?
    Jun 12 2026
    SpaceX is now publicly traded, and it’s leaning heavily into space and AI. What does that mean for us humans here on earth?

    Today, Elon Musk’s company SpaceX had a banner day in the stock market. The company is now valued at more than $2 trillion.

    That is, after an already record-breaking initial public offering, or IPO.

    That historic IPO is likely to make Musk the world’s first trillionaire.

    And while SpaceX isn't profitable yet, investors have big expectations for the company’s ambitions in space and artificial intelligence.

  • The push to reform a key surveillance law before it expires

    The push to reform a key surveillance law before it expires
    Jun 11 2026
    Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is key to U.S. counterterrorism efforts.


    It authorizes U.S. intelligence agencies to intercept the electronic communications of foreign nationals, outside the United States.

    But foreign nationals also talk to Americans. And lawmakers in both parties have long protested that this collection of phone calls, text messages and emails allow government agencies to monitor the conversations of Americans without a judicial warrant.

    And FISA 702 is on a path to expire after Friday.

    Elizabeth Goitein of the Brennan Center for Justice explains her proposal for reform.
