CBS News
CBS News built a reputation for serious, in-depth journalism, particularly under the leadership of legendary broadcasters such as Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, and later Dan Rather. During the mid-20th century, CBS News was widely regarded as the "gold standard" of American broadcast journalism. It played a major role in covering major events such as World War II, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the Vietnam War, Watergate, and the civil rights movement. The nightly CBS Evening News became a staple in American households, with Walter Cronkite famously considered "the most trusted man in America."
In the digital age, CBS News has expanded its reach through a variety of platforms. It operates a 24/7 streaming news service called CBS News Streaming Network (formerly CBSN), produces popular long-form investigative programs like 60 Minutes and 48 Hours, and maintains a robust online presence through its website and mobile apps. The division continues to focus on fact-based reporting, investigative journalism, and breaking news, adapting to the changing ways audiences consume media while maintaining the journalistic standards that have defined its legacy.
