Two years ago, Jim Faust lost his son, Adam, to addiction. Jim found solace in fly fishing, rooting himself in the peace and calm of nature. Then, he decided to share that solace with people facing similar struggles by starting a nonprofit where he teaches fly fishing to those in addiction recovery.

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.

The GBH digital mural in Boston, Mass., displays a black background with the words "Local. Trusted. Defunded." on July 18, 2025.

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.

The headline "'We're having a party!': Inside a school bus with Scottish soccer fans headed to the World Cup" is accompanied by an image showing Scotland fans stand in front of a rented yellow school bus after arriving in Foxborough for the 2026 World Cup. Photo courtesy: Jeremy Siegel/GBH News.

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!

"Started watching GBH in 1967, at the recommendation of my 2nd grade teacher. She opened up a world that I cherish to this day, almost 60 years later. From Mr. Rogers at seven years old to Boston Public Radio at 65, I've received so much more than I could ever give back! Thank you!" - James, Providence, RI
