Series Premiere NEWSHOUR WEEKEND Hari Sreenivasan
VOL 21, ISSUE 9 / September 2013 Introducing PBS NEWSHOUR WEEKEND Series Premiere Sat 7th, 6pm Hari Sreenivasan anchors the new weekend news program. WEEKEND EDITION This month marks the debut of PBS NewsHour Weekend, an exciting addition to THIRTEEN’s influential and trusted lineup of news and public affairs shows and an extension of one of America’s most iconic news broadcasts. PBS NewsHour correspondent Hari Sreenivasan will anchor the program, which will be broadcast Saturdays and Sundays at 6 p.m. from the Tisch WNET Studios at Lincoln Center. In the following interview, he shares his thoughts about PBS NewsHour Weekend. How do you see your new role as anchor of PBS NewsHour Weekend, and what do you hope to accomplish? I think we have an opportunity to experiment a bit more on the weekend program as we bring the NewsHour to the next step in its evolution. We're committed to being available anywhere, anytime. That means online and on air, weekdays and weekends. I'm hoping to pull the audience into the ways we create content, and help us spread the word about it as well. What do you think will be the biggest difference between the weekend show versus the weekday edition? Well for starters, it’s a half hour versus a whole one! And we have a new set, a new city, and new opportunities for viewers to engage while still keeping the depth and context that viewers have come to love and trust. You’re so knowledgeable about new technology and have been director of digital partnerships for the NewsHour. How do you plan to incorporate technology on the new show? I hope to have “Anchor” hour, a bit like office hours that your professors kept in college. And I'll be open to viewers thirteen.org 1 PBS NewsHour Weekend Saturdays and Sundays at 6 p.m., beginning September 7th pbs.org/newshour across different social media platforms and having a conversation about aspects of the stories we are planning in the coming weekend and then taking some of these questions into our editorial meeting. We'll try to make sure some of those questions are addressed either in our broadcast piece or online. –PBS NewsHour Are there any topics you’re particularly looking forward to covering? Several. You'll have to watch to see where we make our investments of time and energy. “We have a new set, a new city, and new opportunities for viewers to engage.” What attracted you to journalism originally? It is a license to stay curious. No other proWeekend anchor fession could have Hari Sreenivasan given me the range of How do you think the transition to New York will impact your life experiences journalism has, from the people I've met, the places I've been, and reporting? We hope we can lure more guests to our the things I've witnessed. cover photo and this spread: Robert Severi studio and the program all seven nights a week. There are more than a few highprofile people to whom we’ll now have much easier access. How would you compare your experience working on the NewsHour with your previous positions in network television? We have the luxury of time. We still bother to do the six- or seven-minute stories network broadcasts cannot afford to do these days. We're the only place on television where informed individuals can disagree agreeably about matters that matter, night after night. What has been the most meaningful story you’ve covered for the NewsHour? I think the dozen stories on climate change—thanks to the grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. It is not one story but if you watch my YouTube playlist of more than an hour, it’s difficult to argue that the changes with which these communities are now coping aren't real. PBS NewsHour Weekend is made possible with support from PBS, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Lewis B. Cullman and Louise Hirschfeld Cullman, Mutual of America, Judy and Josh Weston, Citi Foundation, In Memory of Miriam and Ira D. Wallach, Cheryl and Philip Milstein Family, Rosalind P. Walter, Betty and John Levin, the Vital Projects Fund, and Charlotte and David Ackert. New York Yankee Mark Teixeira and the baseball champs of Harlem RBI community spirit American Graduate Day “A kid drops out of high school every 26 seconds. That’s one out of every four kids in America, 40 to 50 percent if you’re a minority kid. That’s an epidemic that ought to be unsatisfactory to a country of honor.” –Michael Powell, Co-Chair of Grad Nation, America’s Promise Alliance At THIRTEEN, we’ve dedicated ourselves to being champions for education, whether we’re teaching pre-schoolers to read with Sesame Street, helping elementary school students sharpen their math skills with Cyberchase, or introducing teens to the wonders of history with Mission US. crisis and encouraging Americans to take action in their own communities. This year, American Graduate Day will again be the centerpiece of American Graduate: Let’s Make It Happen, a public media initiative funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to help local com- Last September, we took that commitment several steps further with the first ever American Graduate Day, an unprecedented full-day live national broadcast and outreach event dedicated to raising awareness about the high school dropout munities across America find solutions to address the high school dropout crisis. Broadcasting live from the Tisch WNET Studios at Lincoln Center on Saturday, September 28th from 12-7 p.m., the special will spotlight national THIS PAGE: Mike kostel/american graduate day; opposite: big brothers big sisters Sat 28th, 12 p.m.; AmericanGraduate.org thirteen.org 3 and local community-based organizations that combat the crisis on the frontlines, urging viewers across America to become an “American Graduate Champion” by volunteering with these organizations. New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira—a champion in his own right—will be featured on the program, representing Harlem RBI, a baseball, softball, and academic enrichment organization that helps inner-city youth develop leadership and academic skills, and prepare for college and career. Neal Shapiro, President and CEO of WNET, interviewed Teixeira at Harlem RBI headquarters earlier this summer. “We're really saving these kids' lives,” Teixeira said. “Many of these kids are going to drop out of school. They don't necessarily have a future we would like them to have. Harlem RBI gives these kids a future." “Education is at the heart of what we do at THIRTEEN, so we’re especially proud that American Graduate Day has made such a profound impact in our own community and across the country,” says Shapiro. “We’re looking forward to connecting with communities as we continue to work together to create brighter futures for the next generation of champions.” According to Carole Wacey, Vice President of Education at WNET, American Graduate Day 2013 will emphasize college and career readiness to prepare students for life after high school. “Building on the success of last year’s event, we will focus on helping students develop skills that will assist them as they transition from high school graduates to college and to be active citizens in their community,” she said. American Graduate Day is part of “American Graduate: Let’s Make it Happen,” a public media initiative made possible by CPB to help students stay on the path to graduation and future success. Join the team! Big Brothers Big Sisters (pictured above), Boys & Girls Club of America, City Year, Harlem RBI, Horizons National, and United Way are just a few of the many Community Partners participating in American Graduate Day this year. Are you ready to become an American Graduate Champion? Here’s what some of last year’s champions had to say: “I have been searching for a meaningful way to serve young people in my community. Thank you for the opportunity to connect in my community and for all you do, all the time.” –Madeline, New York “As an educator, I see many students at the elementary level who are at risk for dropping out in high school. American Graduate gives me hope we can turn this crisis around.” –Laura, New Mexico Visit American Graduate on Facebook, Twitter or AmericanGraduate.org to learn more and find out how you can get involved. THIRTEEN produced a poster with information about The Hollow Crown and facts about Shakespeare’s plays that was sent to 20,000 high schools. Great Performances: The Hollow Crown Fridays, Sept 20th—Oct 11th, 9 p.m. Earlier this year, Shakespeare Uncovered revealed the fascinating stories behind Shakespeare’s plays. This month, THIRTEEN brings you another opportunity to brush up your Shakespeare with The Hollow Crown, a lavish new series from Great Performances featuring large-scale film adaptations of four of Shakespeare’s best-loved history plays: Richard II, Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2, and Henry V. Directed by Rupert Goold (Richard II), Richard Eyre (Henry IV, Parts I and II), and Thea Sharrock (Henry V ), The Hollow Crown features some of the most celebrated Shakespearean actors of our time. The Kings are played by Ben Whishaw, Jeremy Irons and Tom Hiddleston respectively, supported by a phenomenal cast including Rory Kinnear, Patrick Stewart, David Suchet (Masterpiece Mystery!’s Poirot), and David Morrissey in Richard II; Simon Russell Beale, Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey), Julie Walters, and Maxine Peake in Henry IV; and John Hurt, Anton Lesser, and Paterson Joseph in Henry V. David Horn, executive producer of Great Performances, says, “The Hollow Crown continues our commitment to bringing exceptional Shakespeare performances to the series, following our recent productions of King Lear, Hamlet, and Macbeth, and most recently, Shakespeare Uncovered, which featured tantalizing clips from these very productions which we’re now so pleased to be showing in full.” Major funding for Great Performances is provided by the Irene Diamond Fund, The Starr Foundation, Vivian Milstein, Rosalind P. Walter, the LuEsther T. Mertz Charitable Trust, The Philip and Janice Levin Foundation, Joseph A. Wilson, Jody and John Arnhold, The Agnes Varis Trust, and PBS. poster design: B.T. Whitehill thirteen.org/gperf thirteen.org 5 Beyond the broadcast “All the world’s a stage,” Shakespeare famously wrote in As You Like It. At THIRTEEN, all the world’s a classroom. When programs air, it’s just the beginning of the possibilities for dynamic learning made possible by THIRTEEN’s Education Department at no cost to users. vital resources VITAL NY (Video in Teaching and Learning; vitalnypbslearningmedia.org) is one of the most comprehensive ways THIRTEEN makes public media’s trusted, high-quality content available to educators, parents, and students in the tri-state area and across the country. A free digital education service offering more than 33,000 K-12 targeted media resources tailored to our area’s curriculum requirements, VITAL NY engages students in ways that text alone cannot. More than 45,000 users in the region, and close to one million nationwide, turn to VITAL for classroom-ready lessons that make learning memorable and fun, while addressing challenges that often derail students. Users can choose from thousands of resources to make Shakespeare’s world come alive for learners of all ages and enhance their experience of The Hollow Crown. As one New York City educator observes, “The wealth of resources available at a click is amazing.” Community Connections The LAB@Thirteen is dedicated to finding unique, creative ways to extend the reach of our broadcasts into classrooms and communities all over the country via robust, meaningful broadcast-based collaborations. For The Hollow Crown, the LAB created 12 resources for VITAL NY and PBS LearningMedia, and produced a free poster with program information and fascinating facts about Shakespeare’s history plays that was sent to 20,000 high schools. The LAB also awarded five PBS stations small community engagement grants to conduct local outreach activities surrounding the broadcast of The Hollow Crown and highlight local Shakespeare theaters’ great work. KOCE-TV, the PBS station in southern California, is partnering with the Los Angeles Drama Club, a children’s Shakespeare troupe, to connect with at-risk youth in the area. WJCT in Jacksonville, Florida, is teaming up with Theatre Jacksonville, following up on their Shakespeare Uncovered screening that was attended by 200 guests. “It’s gratifying to see stations building on the success of Shakespeare Uncovered and deepening their reach in their communities,” says LAB director Christopher Czajka. “It shows that Shakespeare is relevant, as is the work we do at public media.” “Artifacts of Shakespeare’s Time” is one of the many VITAL NY resources teachers and students can use to learn about Shakespeare. Learn more about VITAL, The LAB@ Thirteen, and our other educational resources for teachers, parents, and students at thirteen.org/edonline American Masters: Billie Jean King Tue 10th, 8 p.m. What was your career highlight, and is there anything you would do differently? I’m not anywhere near done with my career, so I don’t think I have yet lived my career highlight. Winning three World TeamTennis titles and representing my country as a player and Captain of the Fed Cup teams will always be special moments. There are a few things I would have done differently. I wish I had not quit playing singles in 1975. I still had at least one good year of singles and several strong competitive years of doubles left in me. What do you tell young players who ask for your advice? I would ask more questions than anything. It is important for any player—young or old—to hear their own voice and learn to use their own voice. They need to be part of the process and it always has to be about them, not about the coach or mentor. Tennis legend Billie Jean King has long been a champion for social change and equality—both on and off the court. She is the subject of a new American Masters film commemorating the 40th anniversaries of the Billie Jean King v. Bobby Riggs “Battle of the Sexes” match and the founding of the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA). The series’ first portrait of a sports figure, it features interviews with King, Serena and Venus Williams, Hillary Clinton, Sir Elton John, Chris Evert, Gloria Steinem, and others. In the following interview, King speaks about her iconic career and American Masters debut. How do you feel about being featured on American Masters? In all honesty, I am still getting used to it. The film is very revealing and brings up so many pivotal moments in my life that I am reliving some of it each time I watch the film. It is gratifying to be the first athlete profiled in the 27-year history of the series, and as a woman and a gay woman, I hope my story will inspire others to live their truth.

American Masters is made possible by the support of the National Endowment for the Arts and by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Additional funding for American Masters is provided by Rosalind P. Walter, Anne Ray Charitable Trust, Cheryl and Philip Milstein Family, The Blanche & Irving Laurie Foundation, Rolf and Elizabeth Rosenthal, Jack Rudin, The André and Elizabeth Kertész Foundation, Michael & Helen Schaffer Foundation, and public television viewers. this page: AP/Press Association Images.
