The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer is an evening television news program broadcast weeknights on PBS in the United States. Unlike most other evening newscasts in the country, it is an hour in length. The program also runs longer segments than most other news outlets in the U.S., with in-depth coverage of the subjects involved. The NewsHour avoids the use of sound bites, playing back extended portions of news conferences and holding interviews that last several minutes.

History
MacNeil and Lehrer first teamed up to cover the United States Senate Watergate hearings for PBS in 1973, which led to an Emmy Award. This recognition helped them as they worked to create The Robert MacNeil Report as a half-hour local news program for WNET in 1975 that covered a single issue in-depth. A few months later, the program was renamed The MacNeil/Lehrer Report and began to be broadcast nationwide on PBS stations. The program changed formats and extended to an hour in length on September 5, 1983, becoming known as The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour until MacNeil left the program.

Production and ratings The NewsHour has a more deliberate pace than the news broadcasts of the commercial networks it competes against. At the start of the program, a news summary that lasts a few minutes is given, briefly explaining many of the headlines around the world. International stories often include excerpts of reports filed by Independent Television News correspondents. This is typically followed by three or four longer news segments running 10-15 minutes that explore a few of the headline events in much greater depth than its competitors. The segments include discussions with experts, newsmakers, and/or commentators. The program often wraps up with a reflective essay, but on Fridays it ends with a discussion between two regular columnists. As of 2004, the two people who usually participate are Mark Shields and David Brooks (Paul Gigot, whom Brooks replaced, occasionally fills in for Brooks). Others who sometimes fill in or who have in the past include David Gergen, Thomas Oliphant, Rich Lowry, William Kristol, Ramesh Ponnuru, and William Safire. After the United States-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, The NewsHour began what it calls its Honor Roll, which honors the US military personnel killed in Iraq by displaying the deceased's picture, name, rank, and hometown in complete silence. As of January 4, 2006, The NewsHour also honors the US military personnel killed in Afghanistan in its Honor Roll. The NewsHour is also notable for being run on public television; hence, there are no interruptions for advertisements (though there are interruptions to call for pledges during public television pledge drives).
