Dear Friend,

In an age of polarization and misinformation, the need for truly independent and trusted free press has never been greater. A free press is a cornerstone of a healthy democracy, ensuring citizens have the facts to make informed decisions. At PBS News, this mission drives our work every day.

As you know, federal funding for public media was eliminated this summer, with zero dollars allocated to PBS News from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). This devastating blow means we are now facing difficult decisions.

The most impactful way you can help us right now is to become a monthly donor with a gift of $20 or more per month ([link removed]) . Your generous monthly gift will go further than ever in providing the financial resilience we need to sustain our vital and trustworthy journalism.
DONATE MONTHLY ([link removed])

Unlike corporate-owned media, we are not beholden to corporate profits. Our commitment is to you, our viewers, and to the truth. We believe that public media has the power to bridge divides ([link removed]) , build common ground, and celebrate the diverse voices and complex history and current events of our nation and our world. By fostering open civil dialogue and presenting an in-depth view of the issues, we empower communities to engage constructively with one another.

With hope and determination, we will take bold steps to lead the way forward even in these challenging financial times. Every dollar means more than ever before so please consider making a monthly contribution of $20, $25 or even $30, if you’re able. ([link removed])

Sincerely,
Michael Rancilio,
EVP, Chief Content Officer and
General Manager of PBS News Hour

P.S. As we face this loss of critical federal funding, your generous monthly gift becomes even more meaningful. ([link removed])  Thank you.
