Called "one of the last bastions of serious journalism on TV" by the Austin American-Statesman, The PBS weekly newsmagazine NOW engages viewers with documentary segments and insightful interviews that probe the most important issues facing democracy, including media policy, corporate accountability, civil liberties, the environment, money in politics, and foreign affairs. Hosted by award-winning veteran journalist David Brancaccio, NOW goes beyond the noisy churn of the news cycle and gives viewers the context to explore their relationship with the larger world. In an era where commercial values in journalism risk overwhelming democratic values and corporate interests can prevail over the public interest, NOW continues to stand apart as what The Christian Science Monitor called the "one program going against the grain."
