'We, the Voters: The Left. The Right. The Disenfranchised.' series continues the week of May 6 with a focus on how immigration issues are impacting the 2024 election. The series is tackling issues that voters say they really care about when making their decision at the ballot box; so far reporters have brought us stories about guns in America and perceptions of the economy. You can find those stories from the series page and see plans for future coverage:

NPR has not only brought you the news — it has been in the news over the past couple of weeks. NPR is one of the few news organizations which has a Public Editor, someone representing you, the listener. Complaints of bias are often reviewed by the Public Editor's office, currently held by Kelly McBride of the Poynter Institute, and in last week's column she wrote about recent claims. If you have any questions or comments about news coverage by NPR, please feel free to contact her directly. As always, contact us at KGOU with any questions or comments you may have about our programming or operations.

Tune in Sunday, April 28 at 12 p.m.

Hundreds of historical markers across the country tell a similar frontier tale: that innocent white settlers were minding their own business when suddenly Native Americans ran out and killed them for no reason. NPR's investigation into historical markers found some monuments still telling that skewed story to this day — and a Minnesota tribe working to set the record straight. It's the next story in this series set for Monday, April 29 during All Things Considered.
