For 30 years, millions of Americans and citizens of the world have turned to MacNeil/Lehrer Productions for the solid, reliable reporting that has made the NewsHour one of the most trusted news programs in television.
PBS NewsHour:
PBS NewsHour premieres on
Dec. 7th at 5:30 pm on KNME.
• The daily PBS NewsHour broadcast will move to a dual anchor format, with Jim Lehrer regularly joined by NewsHour senior correspondents Gwen Ifill, Judy Woodruff and Jeffrey Brown in the studio.
• PBS NewsHour will merge on-air and online operations into one entity in a way that reinforces its core mission. There will also be a new player on the team, an online correspondent, who will represent the link between the online news operation and the nightly broadcast.
• Another big part of the PBS NewsHour plan is the collaboration with public media content producers -- both national and local -- including FRONTLINE, NPR and local public media producers.

Interview With Jim Lehrer
How does the new PBS NewsHour fit into what you and Robert MacNeil originally envisioned?
The goal of “MacNeil Lehrer journalism” has always been to give our audience the news beyond the headlines – more in-depth reporting, thought-provoking analysis, engaging newsmaker interviews and more international news.
PBS NewsHour Preview
Among the changes outlined by Mr. Lehrer and Linda Winslow, executive producer of The NewsHour, are a change in the name of the program from The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer to PBS NewsHour; a change in the broadcast format — moving from a single anchor to a dual anchor each evening; and the addition of a correspondent who will serve as a bridge between The NewsHour’s broadcast and digital platforms.
