‘Always New Stories to Be Told’

1. There is no doubt that there are reasons to be worried about the news media as we look ahead to next year. But I continue to be optimistic that our country needs to rely on factual reporting in order to understand our world and hold those in power accountable. There will be adjustments and trials and errors in figuring how to sustain that work, but I don’t doubt how much factual journalism is needed and appreciated.

2. Our resolution to viewers in 2025 is that we will keep doing the work that has defined PBS News for 50 years and that is reliable, trustworthy, factual, fair, curious reporting from here and around the world.

1. Promises of massive change from the incoming Trump administration will provide a renewed opportunity for Scripps News to prove its value to news consumers—both via our national distribution and through that of our local stations. We are hyper-focused on deepening the meaningful integration between our national and local newsrooms to give viewers the fullest possible picture of what is happening across America. We will open 2025 with some exciting announcements about new show launches and content partnerships, more of which will come throughout the year ahead.

2. Our resolution to viewers in 2025 is to remain focused on our mission of providing comprehensive, integrated national and local news coverage that provides an independent point of view of the biggest events across America, while embracing technological advancements and adapting to industry changes.
