One year ago, Congress voted to end nearly 60 years of federal funding for public media. You may even remember driving by this digital mural overlooking the Mass Pike. Many feared it would be a devastating setback for GBH. Instead, with your help, we are making it a turning point.

We're still waiting for Lydia to get an H! 🏀 Iconic TV moments like this one from GBH's Arthur are at the heart of our Disability ReFramed panel discussion on Thursday night (6/25), where we'll talk about accessibility, disability representation, and inclusive storytelling in public media.

Trying to avoid the steep train prices the MBTA is charging for a roundtrip ride between Boston and Foxborough, Scotland's kilt-cladded Tartan Army fans descended upon Providence over the weekend and rented out dozens of school buses sourced from across New England.

Barney Frank, the liberal icon and gay-rights pioneer who represented Massachusetts' Fourth Congressional District for more than three decades, passed away this week at the age of 86. He is featured in memoriam on today's digital mural at GBH HQ. Rest easy, Congressman.

When she was ten years old, @emilyladau.bsky.social appeared on multiple episodes of Sesame Street with Big Bird, Oscar and the gang. She has since become an internationally renowned disability rights activist and author.

You know you are from a New England fishing village when you just intrinsically know that guy is from New Bedford

🗃️ Glad to chat with @wgbh.org about Abigail Adams’ words & how to be a revolutionary in 1776 @mhs1791.bsky.social www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

I am officially on the books as a contributor at @wgbh.org! I love working with the crew at The Curiosity Desk. Tune in everyday to the show at 1pm. I’ll be on most Thursdays for the next few weeks. I am fascinated by radio and this feels like a dream assignment as I learn how to be a journalist.

Good morning.

This year, #PublicMediaGivingDays carry even more meaning. Last year, we shared that federal funding for public media was at risk. Today, that funding is gone. Community support is now the only way to move GBH and public media forward!

"They discuss, they debate, they take calls, they interview key figures. In a fragmented media landscape, they remain the show everyone still has to do—and everyone tunes in." Congrats to Jim and Margery on being named two of Boston Magazine's 150 Most Influential Bostonians of 2026!

A BAFTA Film Award, multiple Emmys®, a knighthood, 40 animal and plant species named after him. And a constellation. Sir David Attenborough turns 100 next month. Just wanted to give the man his flowers.

We're not going to tell you who to root for at this month's Milano Cortina Paralympics... but we kind of are. Meet Sean O'Neill. The Falmouth resident is one of seven athletes getting ready to represent the U.S. in wheelchair curling at this year's Games, which begin Friday.

Holding a sign that had been made by her late mother in her 90s, Newton resident Susan Mirsky joined hundreds of protestors on the Boston Common this past weekend to condemn the joint U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran on Saturday.

Breakups are never easy. Particularly when Congress is your ex — and they ended things via the federal equivalent of a text. But you, our ride-or-dies from day one, stepped up in a major way to support us. Thank you for being our forever Valentines. Wishing you a year full of love and public media!
