Thank you for believing in journalism with integrity and for standing with PBS News when it matters most. 

We knew we could do it—and we did! Thanks to your support, we achieved a record-breaking Year-End campaign and successfully met the Steel Family Fund’s matching challenge.  

Your extraordinary support strengthens PBS News as we look ahead to a pivotal year. It ensures we can continue delivering the trusted, fact-based journalism our democracy depends on. And it proves that when the need for support of independent news is greatest, you answer the call. 

So, what comes next? A renewed dedication to the mission of PBS News: bringing you journalism that informs, illuminates, and empowers. It means meeting you wherever you are—on air, online, and streaming—with news you can trust. 

In the months ahead, PBS News will continue to cut through the noise with thoughtful reporting, distinctive storytelling, and insightful analysis—conversations that elevate understanding over division. We'll shine a light on untold stories, hold those in power accountable, and explore the critical questions facing our nation and our world. 

This work has never been more important—and it's only possible because of generous supporters like you. Together, we're building a stronger, more informed community and proving that quality journalism not only survives but thrives when people like you believe in it. 

We're deeply grateful to have your support as we begin this new year. 


With heartfelt appreciation, 

Michael Rancilio, Alyson Brokenshire, and the entire PBS News Team
