'NewsHour' Cuts Name, Adds Correspondents

‘NewsHour’ cuts name, adds correspondents

“The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer” on PBS is relaunching today as “PBS NewsHour,” as the evening newscast turns its focus to merging its online and broadcast operations.

Correspondents such as Hari Sreenivasan, a former reporter for CBS and ABC, will file dispatches for the program’s Web site and nightly program.

In addition, Jim Lehrer, the program’s longtime anchor, will be joined at the desk by a rotating series of partners: senior correspondents Gwen Ifill, Judy Woodruff and Jeffrey Brown.
