Singing alongside her were her supportive - and emotional - musician friends, including Brandi Carlile, Marcus Mumford, Wynonna Judd and Annie Lennox. Our critic Wesley Morris had his doubts.

We’re delighted to announce that John Woo, an innovative journalist and empathetic manager, is being promoted to executive producer of the Reporter Reads team.

These stories are more than read-aloud articles — they’ve brought people inside the work, adding humanity to our journalists and the work they do every day.
