American Public Media is going all out looking for financial support for its podcast In The Dark.

With a full-page advertisement appearing in this Sunday’s issue of The New York Times, American Public Media says it is highlighting the important work of the free press and thank those who support journalism locally and worldwide.

The ad comes after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the case of Flowers v. Mississippi. APM’s investigative group, APM Reports, reported on the Flowers case for more than a year in Mississippi for the In the Dark and – among many revelations – uncovered the district attorney’s past and present practice of racial discrimination in jury selection.

The court reversed Flowers’ conviction on Friday, ruling that the prosecutor used racial discrimination in the jury selection for Flowers’ most recent trial.

Key findings from the APM Reports’ investigation were included in the case presented to the Supreme Court.

Released in May 2018, the second season of In the Dark has been downloaded more than 24 million times

In the ad, APM emphasizes the necessity of financial support for news organizations everywhere to ensure that people always have the power of a free press.
