The Atlantic Partners with PBS News Hour

I'm always lamenting that there isn't any intelligent news to watch. Now, I'll find out if that's something I actually want or not. From Fishbowl NY...

The Atlantic is partnering with PBS’ NewsHour to produce broadcast adaptation’s of the magazine’s work. The series begins tonight, with NewsHour co-anchor Judy Woodruff and The Atlantic’s Hanna Rosin discussing Rosin’s cover story on teens and sexting.

“We’re excited to see our stories brought to broadcast, and honored to be working with the NewsHour to make it happen,” said James Bennet, The Atlantic’s president and editor-in-chief, in a statement. “No one in the business cares more about journalistic integrity and depth.”

OK viewers. It's up to us to support this or we'll be stuck with the Fox News/MSNBC approach forever.
