A look at Trump's order targeting public media funding

Season 2025 Episode 122 | 5m 56s

President Trump issued an executive order instructing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to halt all funding for PBS and NPR. It would impact those two networks, the roughly 1,500 public media stations nationwide and national programs like the News Hour. William Brangham reports.

Major corporate funding for the PBS NewsHour is provided by Care.com, Consumer Cellular, and Fidelity. Funding for the PBS NewsHour Weekend is provided by Mutual of America. For a complete list of funders for the PBS NewsHour and PBS NewsHour weekend, click here.
