What is the difference between the NewsHour and NewsHour Extra?
There are actually three different NewsHours to keep straight! But of course they’re all related. The first is the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. That’s the TV news program that runs on PBS every weekday. Here’s some more information about the program. Then there’s the Online NewsHour. That’s the web site for the program. The Online NewsHour has all the transcripts from the show listed chronologically on the Recent Programs Page, or by Topics or Regions. There are also “indepth coverage” packages that include maps, slideshows, timelines, etc. Finally, there’s NewsHour Extra, the site for students and teachers. Educators can find lesson plans and an active teacher community at our Teacher Page.
