As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of PBS News Hour, we're looking back at the acclaimed journalists who have helmed the anchor desk. It all started in 1975 with Robert MacNeil and and Jim Lehrer on The Robert MacNeil Report. In 1976, the show was retitled The MacNeil/Lehrer Report. In 1983, the show morphed from a half-hour, single-subject discussion to an hourlong, comprehensive nightly news program called "The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour." The program made history as the nation’s first hourlong nightly broadcast of national... The program rebranded again as "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" in 1995 following MacNeil’s departure. After Lehrer left the program in 2011, correspondents rotated on the anchor desk.

In 2013, the show again made history when Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff became the first female co-anchor team in network television broadcast history. After Ifill's death in 2016, Woodruff became the sole anchor of the program, guiding viewers through the first Trump administration, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, among other historic events. She stepped down from her anchor duties at the end of 2022. In 2023, Geoff Bennett and Amna Nawaz were named the new co-anchors of the PBS News Hour.
