Tom Brokaw Retiring from NBC News After 55 Years, Celebrated Newsman Hosted Nightly News, “Today” Show

By Roger Friedman

Tom Brokaw is retiring from NBC News after 55 years. He’s had a celebrated career, hosting the “Today” show with Jane Pauley, and then the Nightly News — from 1982 to 2004 — to great acclaim. A best selling author, Brokaw is widely respected despite attempts to tarnish his reputation in recent years.

Brokaw is also a cancer survivor who despite a tough recovery kept working pretty steadily until a couple of years ago.

“During one of the most complex and consequential eras in American history, a new generation of NBC News journalists, producers and technicians is providing America with timely, insightful and critically important information, 24/7. I could not be more proud of them,” Brokaw said in a statement.

To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too. They are just another facet of keeping fact based journalism alive.
