Friends of Washington Week with The Atlantic is a group of dedicated individuals and family foundations who provide philanthropic support to help secure a financial future for Washington Week on PBS.
Each week, moderator of Washington Week and editor in chief of The Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg is joined by a roundtable of journalists from print, broadcast and online news organizations who provide analysis of the week’s major national news stories and their impact on the lives of Americans.
With the elimination of federal funding for public media, supporting public television and this program specifically is now more important than ever.
Friends of Washington Week enjoy special benefits including: name recognition on national broadcasts; invitations to regionally-held events for off-the-record conversations with journalists; a tour of the Washington Week with The Atlantic studio; opportunities to watch the live broadcast from the control room and meet moderator Jeffrey Goldberg.
