Tonight marks a milestone for all of us at the PBS News Hour. On this day 50 years ago, we aired our first broadcast. The show had a different name, but the same mission to deliver thoughtful and trustworthy journalism. Half a century later, we're still at it and guided by the same principles and mission. We want to thank you — our viewers and supporters — for standing with us through five decades and trusting us to deliver news and storytelling that matters. | PBS NewsHour
