Dear Friend,

PBS News Hour delivers journalism that deepens our understanding of the world around us—and earns the trust of millions of every night.  In fact, at a time when trust in most news and media is declining, PBS News continues to be ranked the #1 most objective and #1 most credible media organization.

Yet, with federal funding for public media under serious threat, the future of this critical public service is at risk. That’s why I’m reaching out to you now—because we need your help.

We’re working to reach 200 donations by midnight Friday, and thanks to the Arthur D. Collins, Jr. Foundation, every gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $15,000. That means your support today will go twice as far to protect and strengthen the journalism you rely on.

Your gift 2X will support:

From powerful stories on the front lines of global crises to thoughtful reporting on the issues shaping our communities at home, PBS News Hour is where you can turn to for trusted journalism and analysis grounded in integrity. PBS News Hour doesn’t tell you what to think—it provides the in-depth reporting that helps Americans make their own informed decisions.  

At this critical time for PBS News Hour and public media, please make a generous gift right now doubled to ensure PBS News continues its vital mission.

Sincerely, 

Alyson Brokenshire
Senior Director
PBS News Hour Principal and Major Gifts

P.S. Don’t wait—your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, but only through midnight Friday. Thank you for your support!
