For 50 years, millions have turned to the PBS News nightly broadcast for the solid, reliable reporting that has made News Hour the #1 most objective and most credible news program on television. For the first time since our founding, News Hour is no longer receiving federal funds. Hence, we now face a significant funding gap and some very difficult decisions. Through these challenging times, the outpouring of support from our loyal PBS News community has shown us that you understand the critical role we play in providing trusted, free, and independent journalism.
Because of you, we will survive this funding loss; and take bold steps to ensure we continue to deliver truth, clarity and trustworthy journalism when it matters most. But this isn't just about keeping PBS News on the air and streaming. It's about preserving a space for open, civil dialogue and supporting our unwavering commitment to journalism you can trust.
If you haven't had a chance to start your monthly gift, we hope you will consider it today, on PBS News Hour’s 50th Anniversary. Your generous monthly contribution of $50, —or whatever you can give—will provide the critical, reliable funds we need to plan for the months ahead and secure our future. And if you start your monthly gift by midnight, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar for the entire first year, up to $50,000 thanks to a generous Friend of the News Hour. Please make your monthly gift and double your impact to continue PBS News’s legacy as a trustworthy source of independent journalism for the next 50 years.
