'''Montgomery''' is a [[Borough (Pennsylvania)|borough]] in [[Lycoming County, Pennsylvania]], United States. The population was 1,570 at the [[2020 United States Census|2020 census]].<ref name="USCensusEst2020-2021">{{cite web |title=City and Town Population Totals: 2020-2021 |url=https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/popest/2020s-total-cities-and-towns.html |website=Census.gov |publisher=US Census Bureau |access-date=16 July 2022}}</ref> It is part of the [[Williamsport, Pennsylvania]] [[Metropolitan Statistical Area]].

==History==
[[File:Pennsylvania - Montgomery - NARA - 68148338 (cropped).jpg|250px|thumb|left|Montgomery in 1930]]
'''Montgomery''' was incorporated as a [[Borough (Pennsylvania)|borough]] by the Court of Quarter Sessions of the Peace of Lycoming County, Pennsylvania on March 21, 1887, from part of [[Clinton Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania|Clinton Township]]. The history of the settlement of Montgomery begins in 1783 when John Lawson established a homestead there. Nicholas Shaffer built a [[gristmill]] in Montgomery in 1795. A [[sawmill]] and a [[wool]] [[carding]] mill were other early industries found on [[Black Hole Creek]] which flows through Montgomery.{{citation needed|date = October 2013}}

P. M. Barber opened a [[distillery]] in 1859 and later a [[planing mill]] in 1869 on the site of the distillery which maintained sustained success. Barber with his partners, A.B. Henderson, Jesse Rank, and Nathan Fowler laid out a town around their mill in 1870. The town was further expanded by the success of Montgomery Machine Shops which started in 1873, under the supervision of Levi Houston, and built woodworking machinery sold to clients throughout the United States, [[Canada]] and [[Australia]].{{citation needed|date = October 2013}}

Montgomery was previously known as '''Black Hole''' for the creek that flows through it and the post office established in 1836 bearing that name. It was also known as '''Clinton Mills''', again named for the post office. The name Montgomery stems from another name for the same post office, '''Montgomery Station'''.{{citation needed|date = October 2013}}

==Athletics==
Montgomery's high school [[American football|football]] team and that of its rival, the [[Muncy, Pennsylvania|Muncy]] high school team, play annually for The Shoe. The trophy was created in 1961 from an old athletic shoe found in the [[Muncy, Pennsylvania|Muncy]] High School locker room; the shoe has been bronzed and mounted on a wooden box. It was intended in 1961 that should one of the teams win the trophy five years in a row that team would keep the shoe permanently. However, when Montgomery achieved this goal in 1974, the team voted to continue the tradition. Muncy currently leads the series with 28 wins to Montgomery's 18.

In 2007, the Montgomery Lady Raiders won the District IV Championship in Class A Girls Basketball. This was the third time in four years that they went to the PIAA Class A Playoffs and the fourth time in school history that they won the championship. However, they were eliminated in the first round of states by Bishop O'Hara.

In 2007, the Montgomery Red Raiders won the PIAA District IV Championship in Class A Baseball. This was the first time in history that Montgomery won a district championship in Baseball. They were eliminated in the first round of states by the eventual state champion, Minersville.

In 2010, the Montgomery Lady Raiders softball team took second place in the PIAA State playoffs, losing to champion Chartiers-Houston. They finished with only 2 losses on the year.

In 2012, the Montgomery Red Raiders baseball team reached the championship game of the PIAA State playoffs. The Red Raiders lost the championship game to Bishop McCort of Johnstown.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://articles.dailyamerican.com/2012-06-16/sports/32259528_1_crushers-baseball-title-state-championship|title=Bishop McCort wins PIAA Class A baseball title|last=Frazier|first=Jordane|date=2012-06-16|work=schurz-dailyamerican|access-date=2018-03-19|language=en}}</ref>

Montgomery is also the home of the [[Montgomery Little League]], a chartered member of [[Little League Baseball]], and is billed as "The Second Oldest Little League In The World" until they merged with Muncy Little league in 2011, which ended the streak of 64 continuous years. They were represented in the [[1947 Little League World Series]], losing to the Lincoln Little League 7-2 and the Brandon Little League 14-2. Montgomery has not made it back to the World Series since.

==History==
In 1929, the [[CBS|Columbia Broadcasting System]] began making regular radio news broadcasts, which were five-minute summaries taken from reports from [[United Press International|United Press]], one of the three wire services that supplied newspapers with national and international news. In December 1930, CBS chief [[William S. Paley]] hired journalist [[Paul White (journalist)|Paul W. White]] away from United Press as CBS's news editor. Paley put the radio network's news operation at the same level as entertainment, and authorized White to interrupt programming if events warranted. Along with other networks, CBS chafed at the [[breaking news]] embargo imposed upon radio by the wire services, which prevented them from using bulletins until they first appeared in print. CBS disregarded an embargo when it broke the story of the [[Lindbergh kidnapping]] in 1932, using live on-the-air reporting. Radio networks scooped print outlets with news of the [[1932 United States presidential election|1932 presidential election]].<ref name="Dunning">[[John Dunning (radio historian)|Dunning, John]], ''On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio''.

[[File:Couric.PNG|thumb|[[Katie Couric]], the first solo female anchor of a major evening news program, served as anchor and managing editor of ''[[CBS Evening News]]'' from 2006 to 2011.]]
After becoming commercial station WCBW (channel 2, now [[WCBS-TV]]) in 1941, the pioneer CBS television station in New York City broadcast two daily news programs, at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. weekdays, anchored by Richard Hubbell (journalist). Most of the newscasts featured Hubbell reading a script with only occasional cutaways to a map or still photograph. When [[Attack on Pearl Harbor|Pearl Harbor was bombed]] on December 7, 1941, WCBW (which was usually off the air on Sunday to give the engineers a day off), took to the air at 8:45 p.m. with an extensive special report. The national emergency even broke down the unspoken wall between CBS radio and television. WCBW executives convinced radio announcers and experts such as George Fielding Elliot and Linton Wells to come down to the Grand Central studios during the evening and give information and commentary on the attack. The WCBW special report that night lasted less than 90 minutes. But that special broadcast pushed the limits of live television in 1941 and opened up new possibilities for future broadcasts. As CBS wrote in a special report to the [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC), the unscheduled live news broadcast on December 7 "was unquestionably the most stimulating challenge and marked the greatest advance of any single problem faced up to that time."

Additional newscasts were scheduled in the early days of the war. In May 1942, WCBW, like most television stations, sharply cut back its live program schedule and the newscasts were canceled, since the station temporarily suspended studio operations, resorting exclusively to the occasional broadcast of films. This was primarily because much of the staff had either joined the service or were redeployed to war related technical research, and to prolong the life of the early, unstable cameras which were now impossible to repair due to the wartime lack of parts.

In May 1944, as [[World War II]] began to turn in favor of the [[Allies in World War II|Allies]], WCBW reopened the studios and the newscasts returned, briefly anchored by [[Ned Calmer]], and then by Everett Holles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://newsinfo.iu.edu/pub/libs/images/usr/7533_h.jpg|title=Everett Holles 1944 WCBW Newscast|access-date=6 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130906063204/http://newsinfo.iu.edu/pub/libs/images/usr/7533_h.jpg|archive-date=6 September 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> After the end of World War II, expanded news programs appeared on the WCBW schedule – whose call letters were changed to WCBS-TV in 1946 – first anchored by Milo Boulton, and later by [[Douglas Edwards]]. On May 3, 1948, Edwards began anchoring ''CBS Television News'', a regular 15-minute nightly newscast on the CBS television network, including WCBS-TV. It aired every weeknight at 7:30 p.m., and was the first regularly scheduled, network television news program featuring an anchor (the nightly [[Lowell Thomas]] NBC radio network newscast was simulcast on television locally on NBC's WNBT, which is now [[WNBC]], for a time in the early 1940s, along with Richard Hubbell, Ned Calmer, Everett Holles, and Milo Boulton on WCBW in the early and mid-1940s, but these were local television broadcasts seen only in New York City). [[NBC]]'s offering at the time, ''NBC Television Newsreel'' (which premiered in February 1948), was simply film footage with voice narration.

In 1948, CBS Radio journalist [[Edmund A. Chester|Edmund Chester]] emerged as the television network's new Director of News Special Events and Sports.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1973/10/16/archives/edmund-chester-75-exdirectoratcbs.html |title=''The New York Times'' - "Obituary: "Edmund Chester, 75, Ex-Directorate C.B.S.", October 16, 1973 p. 46 on nytimes.com |work=The New York Times |date=October 16, 1973 |access-date=January 15, 2023 |archive-date=January 13, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230113182039/https://www.nytimes.com/1973/10/16/archives/edmund-chester-75-exdirectoratcbs.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-jWTHk3s4c8C&q=Edmund++Chester+ |title=''As It Happened: A Memoir'' William S.

Underwritten by [[Ford Motor Company]] as a public service, the broadcasts endeavored to provide live coverage of the proceedings of the [[United Nations General Assembly]] from its interim headquarters in [[Lake Success, New York]].<ref>''The New York Times'', November 4, 1949, pg. 50</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/television-broadcast-of-a-new-series-reporting-the-sessions-news-photo/647173796?adppopup=true |title=''United Nations in Action'': Photograph of Edmund Chester, Larry LaSueur, Lyman Bryson at the interim headquarters of the UN General Assembly Lake Success, NY, March 8,1949 ongettyimages.com |date=March 2, 2017 |access-date=January 15, 2023 |archive-date=January 13, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230113182015/https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/television-broadcast-of-a-new-series-reporting-the-sessions-news-photo/647173796?adppopup=true |url-status=live }}</ref> They proved to be successful, and were honored with a [[George Foster Peabody Award]] for Television News in 1949.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://peabodyawards.com/award-profile/united-nations-in-action/ |title="United Nations In Action" Peabody Award (1949) on peabodyawards.com |access-date=January 15, 2023 |archive-date=January 13, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230113190229/https://peabodyawards.com/award-profile/united-nations-in-action/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 1950, the name of the nightly newscast was changed to ''Douglas Edwards with the News'', and the following year, it became the first news program to be broadcast on both coasts, thanks to a new coaxial cable connection, prompting Edwards to use the greeting "Good evening everyone, coast to coast." In 1962, the broadcast was renamed the ''[[CBS Evening News]]'' when [[Walter Cronkite]] replaced Edwards.<ref>"The Origins of Television News in America" by Mike Conway.

(Peter Lang Publishing, New York NY).</ref> Edwards remained with CBS News, contributing to various daytime television newscasts and radio news broadcasts until his retirement on April 1, 1988.

From the 1990s until 2014, CBS News operated its own production unit CBS News Productions, to produce alternative programming for cable networks,<ref>{{Cite web |last=O'Connell |first=Mikey |date=2014-01-24 |title=CBS News Closes Productions Shingle, Most Staff Staying On |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/cbs-news-closes-productions-shingle-673796/ |access-date=2023-09-28 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |language=en-US}}</ref> and CBS EyeToo Productions, later renamed CBS Eye Productions, a company that produced documentaries and nonfiction programs.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2008-11-12 |title=The Ticker: CBS, Bloomberg, NBC… |url=https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/the-ticker-cbs-bloomberg-nbc/22786/ |access-date=2023-09-28 |website=www.adweek.com |language=en-US}}</ref>

CBS News ran a cable channel, [[CBS Eye on People]], from 1997 to 2000, and [[Spanish language]] channel [[CBS Telenoticias]] from 1996 to 1998.

In 2021, CBS News had set up its own production unit. See It Now Studios, which was headed by [[Susan Zirinsky]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Johnson |first=Ted |date=2021-09-08 |title=CBS News Launches New Production Entity See It Now Studios Headed By Susan Zirinsky |url=https://deadline.com/2021/09/cbs-news-susan-zirinsky-production-company-susan-zirinsky-1234828901/ |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=Deadline |language=en-US |archive-date=June 22, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220622054529/https://deadline.com/2021/09/cbs-news-susan-zirinsky-production-company-susan-zirinsky-1234828901/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2022, CBS News hired former [[First presidency of Donald Trump|Trump administration]] official [[Mick Mulvaney]] as a paid on-air contributor.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news |last=Barr |first=Jeremy |date=2022-03-30 |title=Turmoil at CBS News over Trump aide Mick Mulvaney's punditry gig |language=en-US |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/03/30/cbs-mulvaney-backlash/ |access-date=2022-03-31 |issn=0190-8286 |archive-date=March 31, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220331073651/https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/03/30/cbs-mulvaney-backlash/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Mulvaney's hiring stirred controversy within the company due to his history of promoting [[Donald Trump]]'s false claims and attacking the press.<ref name=":1" /> CBS News co-president [[Neeraj Khemlani]] told CBS morning show staff, "If you look at some of the people that we've been hiring on a contributor basis, being able to make sure that we are getting access to both sides of the aisle is a priority because we know the Republicans are going to take over, most likely, in the midterms".<ref name=":1" />

President Donald Trump sued CBS News over a ''60 Minutes'' interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris, alleging that the network engaged in election interference through deceptive editing.

The lawsuit, which seeks $10 billion in damages, claims that CBS violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by airing two different edits of Harris' response to a question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

As of February 6, 2025, CBS's parent company, Paramount Global, is reportedly considering settling the lawsuit ahead of a planned merger with Skydance Media, despite the network's initial statement that it would "vigorously defend" against the suit.

In 2025, [[Norah O'Donnell]], who was based in the CBS News bureau in Washington, D.C., for over five years, departed, resulting in ''CBS Evening News'' to once again be broadcast from the CBS Broadcast Center's historic Studio 47 in New York City.<ref name=returntonyc>{{cite news|url=https://people.com/cbs-evening-news-premiere-exclusive-sneak-peek-8779449|title=CBS Evening News Returns to N.Y.C. with a Twist: Inside the Making of a New, Dual-Anchor Broadcast (Exclusive)|first=Kyler|last=Alvord|publisher=People|date=January 24, 2025|accessdate=January 24, 2025}}</ref> ''[[Face the Nation]]'' host and CBS News correspondent [[Margaret Brennan]], however, continue to be based in Washington D.C.<ref name=returntonyc />

==Broadcast history==
[[File:CBS News Bulletin 1963.PNG|thumb|alt=text|CBS News Bulletin's coverage of the [[assassination of John F. Kennedy]] in 1963]]
The information on programs listed in this section came directly from CBS News in interviews with the Vice President of Communications and NewsWatch Dallas.

According to the CBS News Library and source Sandy Genelius (Vice President, CBS News Communications), the "CBS Evening News" was the program title for both Saturday and Sunday evening broadcasts. The program title for the Sunday late night news beginning in 1963 was the "CBS Sunday Night News". These titles were also seen on the intro slide of the program's opening. The program airs on Saturday, and Sunday nights at 7:00 p.m.–7:30 p.m. UTC (Eastern Time) on CBS.

==CBS News Radio==
{{main|CBS News Radio}}
CBS News produces newscasts and features for radio stations through [[CBS News Radio]], which is the oldest unit of CBS and tracings its roots to the company's founding in 1927, and the news division took shape over the decade that followed. The list of CBS News correspondents (below) includes those reporting on CBS News Radio.

CBS News Radio produces the oldest daily news show on radio or television, the ''[[CBS World News Roundup]]'', which first aired in 1938; in 2018, it celebrated its 80th anniversary. The ''World News Roundup'' airs twice every weekday, broadcasting a morning edition anchored by Steve Kathan and produced by Paul Farry, and a late edition anchored by Dave Barrett and produced by James Hutton. The evening ''Roundup'', previously known as ''The World Tonight'', has aired in its current form since 1956, and has been anchored by Blair Clark, [[Douglas Edwards]], [[Dallas Townsend]], and [[Christopher Glenn]], Glenn also anchored the morning ''Roundup'' prior to his death in 2006.

CBS Radio Network provides newscasts at the top of the hour, regular updates at :31 minutes past the hour, the popular Newsfeeds for affiliates, including [[WCBS (AM)|WCBS]] in New York City and [[KYW (AM)|KYW]] in [[Philadelphia]], at :35 minutes past the hour, and breaking news updates when developments warrant, often at :20 and :50 minutes past the hour. Skyview Networks handles the distribution.

==CBS Newspath==
CBS Newspath is CBS News' satellite news-gathering service, similar in format to [[CNN Newsource]]. Newspath provides national hard news, sports highlights, regional spot news, features and live coverage of major [[breaking news]] events for affiliate stations to use in their local news broadcasts. The service has a team of domestic and global correspondents and freelance reporters dedicated to reporting for affiliates, and offers several different national or international stories fronted by reporters on a daily basis. CBS Newspath also relies heavily on local affiliates sharing content. Stations will often contribute locally obtained footage that may be of national interest. It replaced a similar service, CBS News NewsNet.

In late 1999, the news-gathering arms of CBS (Newspath), ABC (NewsOne) and Fox (NewsEdge) agreed to form a joint-venture [[Press pool|footage sharing pool]], known as ''Network News Service''.<ref>{{cite news

==Reporting partnerships==
In 2017, CBS News entered into a content-sharing agreement with [[BBC News]], respectively replacing previous arrangements between the BBC and ABC News, and CBS and [[Sky News]] (which was partially controlled by [[21st Century Fox]] until 2018 when ownership was then transferred to [[Comcast]]). The partnership includes the ability to share resources, footage, and reports, and conduct "efficient planning of news gathering resources to increase the content of each broadcaster's coverage of world events".<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cbs-news-bbc-strike-content-sharing-partnership-1020724|title=CBS News, BBC Strike Content Sharing Partnership|work=The Hollywood Reporter|access-date=2017-07-13|language=en|archive-date=January 19, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180119163018/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cbs-news-bbc-strike-content-sharing-partnership-1020724|url-status=live}}</ref>

'''Robert Ellis Kur''' (born April 13, 1948) is an American retired television journalist, born in [[Nutley, New Jersey]].

Kur received a bachelor's degree from [[Ithaca College]] in 1970 and his masters of communications at [[Columbia University]].

Kur's first job in journalism was for the [[Eastern Educational Network]] as a researcher, reporter and writer. [[WRC-TV]], a [[Washington, D.C.]]–based [[NBC]] affiliate, hired Kur in 1973. He was tapped for an [[NBC News]] reporting job based in [[Cleveland]], Ohio, in 1976. Among the topics Kur focused on during his time at NBC News were science, health, family, and trends which often appeared as reports on ''[[NBC Nightly News]]''. He served as a fill-in host for several NBC News shows including ''NBC Nightly News'' and ''[[NBC News at Sunrise]]''.<ref>{{cite book|editor1-last=Murray|editor1-first=Michael D.|title=Encyclopedia of television news|date=1999|publisher=[[Greenwood Publishing Group]]|location=[[Westport, Connecticut]]|isbn=1573561088|page=[https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofte00mich_0/page/127 127]|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofte00mich_0/page/127}}</ref> In 1996 he became the weekend anchor on [[NBC]]'s ''[[Today (NBC program)|Today Show]].''<ref name="urlABC, NBC PACK A WALLOP">{{cite news |url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/boston/access/59595867.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Mar+04%2C+1988&author=Ed+Siegel%2C+Globe+Staff&pub=Boston+Globe+%28pre-1997+Fulltext%29&desc=ABC%2C+NBC+PACK+A+WALLOP&pqatl=google |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121106160132/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/boston/access/59595867.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Mar+04,+1988&author=Ed+Siegel,+Globe+Staff&pub=Boston+Globe+(pre-1997+Fulltext)&desc=ABC,+NBC+PACK+A+WALLOP&pqatl=google |url-status=dead |archive-date=November 6, 2012 |title=ABC, NBC PACK A WALLOP |work= Boston Globe|access-date=2011-05-03 |first=Ed |last=Siegel |date=March 4, 1988}}</ref>

In the mid-1990s, Kur gained attention for his coverage of the lawsuits against the tobacco industries. He later became an anchor for [[MSNBC]] and was later the White House correspondent.

In 2006, he left MSNBC to work for Washington Post Radio, a new radio station in the Washington, D.C. area.

Kur lives in Newfield, New York. He is married to Cathy Porter and has three children.

==History==

===Early years===
[[File:CNN-International-Logo.svg|thumb|left|upright=0.5|CNN International logo from 1985 to 1995]]

CNN International began broadcasting on September 1, 1985, at first primarily broadcasting to American business travelers in hotels. The first studio for CNNI was at CNN's original studio building known as Techwood, home at that time to all of Turner Broadcasting System's channels. Today, it is home to the Techwood Studios complex that houses the entertainment channels. Other early studios in Atlanta were tucked away in various corners of the [[CNN Center]], and the newsroom lacked even a [[digital clock]]. The vast majority of the network's programming originally consisted of simulcasts of the two domestic CNN channels ([[CNN|CNN/US]] and [[HLN (TV network)|Headline News]]). In the United Kingdom, the channel began broadcasting on September 17, 1987, the office was located at 25/28 Old Burlington Street, London.<ref>[https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0025/217870/Cable-Authority-annual-report-and-accounts-1987-88.pdf Cable Authority annual report and accounts 1987-88 - Ofcom (page 25)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220110164741/https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0025/217870/Cable-Authority-annual-report-and-accounts-1987-88.pdf |date=January 10, 2022 }} // 1988</ref> In 1990, however, the amount of news programming produced by CNNI especially for international viewers increased significantly.

Paul Vessey, an executive of CNN International, said in 1992 that CNN will go international style and get "less and less American".<ref>{{cite news |title=Better than the CIA? |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19920112-1.2.36.1 |access-date=12 December 2023 |work=The Straits Times |date=12 January 1992 |archive-date=December 12, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231212090734/https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19920112-1.2.36.1 |url-status=live }}</ref>

A new newsroom and studio complex was built in 1994, as CNN decided to compete against [[BBC World Service Television]]'s news programming. CNNI emerged as an internationally oriented news channel, with staff members of various national backgrounds, even though some accusations of a pro-U.S. editorial bias persist. CNN International was awarded the [[Liberty Medal]] on July 4, 1997. Ted Turner, in accepting the medal on behalf of the network, said: "My idea was, we're just going to give people the facts... We didn't have to show liberty and democracy as good and show socialism or totalitarianism as bad. If we just showed them both the way they were ... everybody's going to choose liberty and democracy."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://constitutioncenter.org/libertymedal/recipient_1997.html|title=CNN International – National Constitution Center|website=National Constitution Center – constitutioncenter.org|access-date=December 6, 2013|archive-date=September 21, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921074737/http://constitutioncenter.org/libertymedal/recipient_1997.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===New international era (1995–2005)===
In 1995, creative director Morgan Almeida defined a progressive rebranding strategy, to target CNNI's diverse global market, making the on-air look less overtly American and with a cleaner, simpler "international" aesthetic going forward. The word "International" in the channel's logo was replaced with a globe, and the new branding featured numerous international locations filmed in time-lapse, channel idents created in CGI with Velvet Design in Munich, and a news brand designed with [[The ATTIK|The Attik]] in New York.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.tv-ark.org.uk/news/cnni/idents.html|title=CNN International | Idents|publisher=TVARK|access-date=August 7, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304054454/http://www2.tv-ark.org.uk/news/cnni/idents.html|archive-date=March 4, 2016|url-status=usurped}}</ref>

The regionalization of CNN International was through the efforts of [[Chris Cramer]], joining CNN in 1996. CNN International was split into three feeds {{endash}} Asia, Europe/Africa/Middle East and Latin America. By 1998, CNN International produced 90% of its content, up from 50% in 1996. The rest of the percentage is for domestic CNN broadcasts from the United States.<ref name="lighter">{{cite news |title=Lighter and closer to home |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19981130-1.2.106.2 |access-date=12 December 2023 |work=The Straits Times |date=30 November 1998 |archive-date=January 2, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240102105625/https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19981130-1.2.106.2 |url-status=live }}</ref> According to an annual PAX survey, in 1998 and 1999 CNN International was the leading cable and satellite network in Asia in terms of viewership among affluent households and among business decision-makers.<ref>{{cite news |title=Asian Viewing Over the Month |url=https://archive.org/details/fact-pack-2000-multichannel-news-international/page/n13/mode/2up |access-date=12 May 2024 |work=Multichannel News International |issue=Fact Pack 2000 |date=December 1999}}</ref> CNN International planned to air shows in 1999 including World Beat, its popular weekly international music segment, and the global arts round-up Art Club.<ref name="lighter" /> The channel was banned in China in June 1999, on the tenth anniversary of the [[1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre|Tianamnen Square massacre]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=O'Clery |first=Conor |date=2000-02-04 |title=China's cultural commissars see Bugs Bunny as undesirable alien |language=en |newspaper=The Irish Times |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/china-s-cultural-commissars-see-bugs-bunny-as-undesirable-alien-1.241244 |access-date=2021-07-25}}</ref>

===2006–2009 revamp===
[[File:CNN-globe-logo.png|thumb|left|upright=0.5|CNN International logo from January 1, 2006, to September 21, 2009]]

The network undertook another major rebranding effort in 2006 overseen by Mark Wright and London agency Kemistry. The ticker was replaced by a flipper, on-screen graphics were more unified and from October 2007 until August 2008, new studios were progressively rolled out. However, on January 1, 2009, CNN International adopted the "lower-thirds" that CNN/US had introduced a month earlier which was inspired by the clean modern design of the CNNI rebrand efforts.

In the U.S., CNNI North America was distributed overnight and on weekends over the [[CNNfn]] financial channel, until that channel's demise in December 2004. It is now available as a standalone, full-time channel, usually as part of high-tier packages of subscription providers including [[Time Warner Cable]], [[AT&T U-Verse]], [[Verizon FiOS]] and [[Cox Communications]].

===Going beyond borders (2009–2013)===
From January until September 2009, CNN International adopted more programs that became geared towards a primetime European audience with a few titled after CNN International personalities, most notably the interview program ''[[Amanpour]]''. On September 21, 2009, the channel launched a new tagline "Go Beyond Borders", along with a new logo, and consolidated its general newscasts (''World News'', ''CNN Today'', ''World News Asia'', ''World News Europe'' and ''[[Your World Today]]'') into a single newscast entitled ''World Report''.

The slogan "Go Beyond Borders" emphasizes the international perspective that gives the information in this string and the plurality of the audiences. With this tagline, CNN also refers to the various platforms to disseminate their content. The new image was created by the creativity and marketing department, and agency CNN Tooth & Nail. An important element of the rebrand was a new evening program that added the broadcast of programs ''Amanpour'' and ''World One''. The makeover of CNN International has been subject to a lot of criticism on both the new prime-time lineup and the redesigned graphics.

On January 11, 2009, in a bid to compete directly with [[Al Jazeera English]], the network launched a new production center: CNN [[Abu Dhabi]], based in the United Arab Emirates. Then, CNN International adapted half-hour shows in its schedule with a new evening prime program for the [[Middle East]] viewers, ''Prism''.

In 2010, CNN International launched new programs for its evening lineup to improve its schedule. In 2011, programs from CNN U.S. were added to the CNN International schedule, including the talk program ''[[Piers Morgan Live]]'' which was later canceled and replaced with [[CNN Tonight]] hosted by Don Lemon.

===This is CNN (2013–present)===
"This is CNN" represents CNN International's rebrand with new sets and output in full 16:9 high definition. The "This is CNN" slogan is also used on its sister network [[CNN]] in the United States. The managing director of CNN International from 2003 to May 2019 was Tony Maddox.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/sep/04/cnn-international-documentary-bahrain-arab-spring-repression Why didn't CNN's international arm air its documentary on Bahrain's Arab Spring repression?] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612143730/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/sep/04/cnn-international-documentary-bahrain-arab-spring-repression |date=June 12, 2018 }} CNNi's president, Tony Maddox</ref>

In 2022, WarnerMedia closed CNN International in Russia due to [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine|Russia's invasion of Ukraine]].<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/09/media/warnermedia-discovery-russia/index.html|title = WarnerMedia and Discovery join the stampede of businesses leaving Russia | CNN Business|publisher = CNN|date = March 9, 2022|access-date = March 10, 2022|archive-date = March 9, 2022|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220309191451/https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/09/media/warnermedia-discovery-russia/index.html|url-status = live}}</ref>

==Regional and online versions==
There are five variants of CNN International:
* [[CNN International Asia Pacific]], based in Hong Kong, China; [[Taipei]], Taiwan and Manila, Philippines
* [[CNN International Europe/Middle East/Africa]], based in London, United Kingdom
* [[CNN International in Latin America]], based in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.
* CNN International North America{{refn|Canadian markets only}}, based in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.
* [[CNN International South Asia]], based in New Delhi, India

The schedules of the different regional versions no longer differ significantly from each other, but there are still minor variations such as content during the commercial breaks (e.g. weather forecasts and local airtimes shown).

CNN has reported that its broadcast agreement in mainland China includes an arrangement that its signal must pass through a Chinese-controlled satellite. With this method of transmission, Chinese authorities have been able to black out CNNI segments at will. CNN has also said that its broadcasts are not widely available in mainland China, but rather only in certain diplomatic compounds, hotels, and apartment blocks.<ref>{{cite news|last=Vause|first=John|title=San Francisco Torch Relay Broadcast|publisher=CNN|date=April 9, 2008}}</ref>

In June 2015, CNN International was made available online in the United States for [[TV Everywhere|CNN/U.S subscribers on participating television providers]] through the CNNgo service.<ref name="tvnewser-cnngo">{{cite web|title=CNN International Now Available on CNNgo|url=http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/cnn-international-now-available-on-cnngo/266213|website=TVNewser|date=June 29, 2015 |access-date=July 2, 2015|archive-date=July 2, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150702034555/http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/cnn-international-now-available-on-cnngo/266213|url-status=live}}</ref>

===CNNj===
[[File:CNNj_channel_logo.svg|thumb|175px|CNNj channel logo]]
'''CNNj''' is a Japanese version of CNN International distributed by [[Japan Cable Television]] that first launched on March 1, 2003. CNNj is tailored specifically for a Japanese audience, with all programming broadcast from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. ([[Japan Standard Time]]) being translated into Japanese.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cnnasiapacific.com/factsheets/partnersandjv/?catID=19|title=CNN Partners|publisher=cnnasiapacific.com|access-date=12 May 2010|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120729154345/http://www.cnnasiapacific.com/factsheets/partnersandjv/?catID=19|archive-date=2012-07-29|url-status=dead}}</ref> The channel used to broadcast a mixture of CNN International and [[CNN|CNN/US]], but since 2008, CNNj has been a direct relay of [[CNN International Asia Pacific]].

==High definition==
[[File:CNN International HD.png|thumb|left|260px]]

'''CNN International HD''' is the [[high-definition television|high-definition]] simulcast feed of the channel broadcasting at 1920x[[1080i]], which was launched in September 2012. Before June 3, 2013, only programming from CNN/US was available natively in HD, while shows made for CNN International were produced in [[4:3]] [[576i]]. In February 2013, the European SD feed of CNN International began broadcasting in widescreen by downscaling the HD feed, which resulted in all 4:3-native programming being broadcast in [[pillarbox]] until the June 3 switchover, and finalized on June 17 of the same year, when the switchover was completed.

Following the March 2003 launch of [[CNNj]], a live relay of CNN/US and CNN International, with simultaneous audio translation into Japanese,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cnnasiapacific.com/factsheets/partnersandjv/?catID=19|title=CNN Partners|publisher=cnnasiapacific.com|access-date=16 April 2020|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120729154345/http://www.cnnasiapacific.com/factsheets/partnersandjv/?catID=19|archive-date=2012-07-29|url-status=dead}}</ref> starting in late 2010, the high definition feed of CNN/US was launched in Japan under the name '''CNN HD'''.<ref name="jctv"/> CNN/US (both SD and HD) is also available on Greater China-based satellite service [[DishHD]], a subsidiary of [[Dish Network]] in the United States.

On June 28, 2016, CNN International HD was launched for Sky customers in the UK (including on Freesat from Sky), on channel 506 or 579, making the [[Arirang (TV network)|next news channel]] launch in the 600s. The HD version is available free-to-air within the British Isles, and is provided on satellite and IPTV services, and also live-streamed for U.K. users (and geo-blocked outside the U.K.), through CNN International's official U.K. video site. However, viewers with non-proprietary Freesat boxes will need to add the channel manually as Freesat does not market CNN International HD publicly as part of its offerings.

==Online==
CNN debuted its news website CNN.com (initially an experiment known as ''CNN Interactive'') on August 30, 1995. The site attracted growing interest over its first decade and is now one of the most popular news websites in the world. The widespread growth of [[blogs]], [[social media]] and [[user-generated content]] have influenced the site, and blogs in particular have focused CNN's previously scattershot online offerings, most noticeably in the development and launch of [[CNN Pipeline]] in late 2005. In April 2009, CNN.com ranked third place among online global news sites in unique users in the U.S. according to Nielsen/NetRatings; with an increase of 11% over the previous year.

CNN Pipeline was the name of a paid subscription service, its corresponding website, and a content delivery client that provided streams of live video from up to four sources (or "pipes"), on-demand access to CNN stories and reports, and optional pop-up "news alerts" to computer users. The installable client was available to users of PCs running [[Microsoft Windows]]. There was also a browser-based "web client" that did not require installation. In July 2007, the service was discontinued and replaced with a free streaming service.

The now-defunct topical news program ''[[Judy Woodruff's Inside Politics]]'' was the first CNN program to feature a round-up of blogs in 2005.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/columnist/mediamix/2005-03-20-media-mix_x.htm|title=It's prime time for blogs on CNN's 'Inside Politics'|date=March 20, 2005|work=USA Today|last=Johnson|first=Peter|access-date=January 24, 2009|archive-date=October 21, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021192505/http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/columnist/mediamix/2005-03-20-media-mix_x.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Blog coverage was expanded when ''[[Inside Politics]]'' was folded into ''[[The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer|The Situation Room]]''. In 2006, CNN launched CNN Exchange and [[CNN iReport]], initiatives designed to further introduce and centralize the impact of everything from [[blogging]] to [[citizen journalism]] within the CNN brand. CNN iReport which features user-submitted photos and video, has achieved considerable traction, with increasingly professional-looking reports filed by amateur journalists, many still in high school or college. The iReport gained more prominence when observers of the [[Virginia Tech shootings]] sent in first-hand photos of what was going on during the shootings.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/news/story.html?id=250570b8-2555-4ac0-8fb7-a0431a321e0d&k=80562|title='Citizen journalist' often there first to snap photos|date=April 12, 2008|publisher=Regina Leader-Post|last=Cobb|first=Chris|access-date=January 24, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080621203445/http://www.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/news/story.html?id=250570b8-2555-4ac0-8fb7-a0431a321e0d&k=80562|archive-date=June 21, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Criticism==
[[File:CNN International.jpg|thumb|The CNN International logo on a table viewed inside the CNN Center in Atlanta. These tables have since been removed.]]

=== Accusations of U.S.-centric viewpoint ===
Former CNN Beijing and Tokyo bureau chief [[Rebecca MacKinnon]] described how the news-gathering priorities of CNN International were skewed to "produce stories and reports that would be of interest to CNN USA." Nevertheless, [[Jane Arraf]], a former correspondent who was with the [[Council on Foreign Relations]] and later served as a Middle East-based correspondent for [[Al Jazeera English]], noted that when she spoke on international affairs, CNN International would usually give her more airtime than CNN/US. For its part, former CNN executive [[Eason Jordan]] has defended CNN International's "international" perspective, saying "No matter what CNN International does, as long as CNN's headquarters is in the United States people are going to say, well, it's an American service. But the reality is that it's an international service based in the United States, and we don't make any apologies about that."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tbsjournal.com/Archives/Spring02/jordan.html |title=TBS Interview: Eason Jordan, CNN Chief News Executive |access-date=January 28, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061230185016/http://www.tbsjournal.com/Archives/Spring02/jordan.html |archive-date=December 30, 2006 }}</ref>

=== Accusations of pro-American bias ===
CNN is one of the world's largest news organizations, and its international channel, CNN International is the leading international news channel in terms of viewer reach.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://edition.cnn.com/about/|title=About Us|publisher=CNN|access-date=February 20, 2010|archive-date=February 21, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100221022509/http://edition.cnn.com/about/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.brandrepublic.com/news/563911/cnn-tops-european-news-channels-according-ems/|title=CNN tops European news channels according to EMS – Brand Republic News|publisher=Brand Republic|access-date=February 20, 2010|archive-date=February 26, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100226163436/http://www.brandrepublic.com/News/563911/CNN-tops-European-news-channels-according-EMS/|url-status=live}}</ref> Unlike the BBC and its network of reporters and bureaus, CNN International makes extensive use of affiliated reporters that are local to, and often directly affected by, the events they are reporting. The effect is a more immediate, less detached style of on-the-ground coverage. This has done little to stem criticism, largely from Middle Eastern nations, that CNN International reports news from a [[pro-American]] perspective. This is a marked contrast to domestic criticisms that often portray CNN as having a "liberal" or "anti-American" bias. {{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}

=== Accusations of anti-China bias ===
A Chinese website, [[anti-cnn]].com,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Anti-CNN website |url=http://www.anti-cnn.com/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080409202554/http://www.anti-cnn.com/ |archive-date=9 April 2008 |access-date=5 August 2017}}</ref> had accused CNN and western media in general of biased reporting against China, with the catchphrase "Don't be so CNN" entering the Chinese [[lexicon]] as meaning one should not be biased and use exaggerated language in describing an event.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Andrew Wei-Min Lee |date=2009 |title=Tibet and the Media: Perspectives from Beijing |url=https://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4931&context=mulr |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211206144303/https://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4931&context=mulr |archive-date=December 6, 2021 |website=[[Marquette Law Review]] |page=221}}</ref> Pictures used by CNN were allegedly edited to have completely different meanings from the original ones.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web |last=Jay Hauben |date=September 11, 2012 |title=China and Syria: Netizens Expose Media Fabrications and Distortions |url=https://newsghana.com.gh/china-and-syria-netizens-expose-media-fabrications-and-distortions/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221119153221/https://newsghana.com.gh/china-and-syria-netizens-expose-media-fabrications-and-distortions/ |archive-date=2022-11-19 |website=[[News Ghana]] |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> In addition, the channel was accused of largely ignoring pro-China voices during the Olympic Torch Relay debacle in San Francisco.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}

=== Accusations of propaganda and censorship ===
In October 2011, [[Amber Lyon]] gave her claims to the Syrian government news agency SANA that she had been directed by CNN to report selectively, repetitively, and falsely to sway public opinion in favor of direct American aggression against Iran and Syria,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sana.sy/eng/22/2013/03/30/475112.htm |title=Ex-CNN Reporter: I Received Orders to Manipulate News to Demonize Syria and Iran |access-date=March 4, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130402001657/http://sana.sy/eng/22/2013/03/30/475112.htm |archive-date=April 2, 2013 }}</ref> and that this was common practice under CNN. She subsequently repeated this claim, addressing the degraded state of [[journalistic ethics]] in an interview<ref>{{cite web |url=https://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/11/alex-jones-americas-top-conspiracy-theorist.html |title=An Interview With Alex Jones, America's Leading (and Proudest) Conspiracy Theorist |website=Nymag.com |date=November 17, 2013 |access-date=August 7, 2016 |archive-date=September 8, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140908181340/http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/11/alex-jones-americas-top-conspiracy-theorist.html |url-status=live }}</ref>{{citation needed|reason=YouTube is NOT a reliable source|date=December 2015}} during which she also discussed the Bahraini episode, suggesting paid-for content was also taken from [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], Kazakhstan, and other states, that the [[War on Terrorism]] had also been employed as a pretext to pre-empt substantive [[investigative journalism]] within the U.S., and that following the Bahrain reporting, her investigative department had been terminated and "reorganized", and her severance and [[employee benefits]] used as a threat to intimidate and attempt to purchase her subsequent silence.

Lyon claimed to have met with [[Tony Maddox]], president of CNN International, twice about this issue in 2011 and had claimed that during the second meeting, she was threatened and intimated to stop speaking on the matter.<ref>{{cite news |author=Glenn Greenwald |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/sep/04/cnn-international-documentary-bahrain-arab-spring-repression |title=Why didn't CNN's international arm air its documentary on Bahrain's Arab Spring repression? |newspaper=The Guardian |access-date=August 7, 2016 |archive-date=June 12, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612143730/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/sep/04/cnn-international-documentary-bahrain-arab-spring-repression |url-status=live }}</ref> CNN issued a detailed response to Lyon's claims about its coverage of Bahrain.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2012/09/05/cnn-internationals-response-to-the-guardian/ | publisher=CNN| title=CNN International's Response to the Guardian – Update | date=September 5, 2012 | access-date=December 4, 2013 | archive-date=November 4, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121104152401/http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2012/09/05/cnn-internationals-response-to-the-guardian/ | url-status=dead }}</ref>

Lyon also claimed on the Russian news channel [[RT (TV network)|RT]] that CNN reporters, headed by Maddox, have been instructed to over-cover Iran as a form of propaganda, and that CNN International has been paid by the Bahraini government to produce and air news segments intentionally painting them in a positive light.{{citation needed|reason=YouTube is NOT a reliable source|date=December 2015}}

CNN became the official broadcaster of one of the biggest events of the UAE in 2021 when Dubai was hosting the [[Expo 2020]]. The official announcement was made in July 2021.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2021/07/05/cnn-to-be-an-official-broadcaster-for-expo-2020-dubai/|title=CNN to be an Official Broadcaster for Expo 2020 Dubai|access-date=5 July 2021|website=CNN Press Room|archive-date=July 5, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210705124125/https://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2021/07/05/cnn-to-be-an-official-broadcaster-for-expo-2020-dubai/|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, months later, human rights organizations began to raise concerns around CNN's participation in the event, pointing out that the CNN was lending its legitimacy to the Emirates' propaganda efforts. Analyzing CNN's coverage of the UAE over 10 months, critics accused the news media of running a PR for the UAE. The rights groups also notified of the UAE's poor human rights and women's rights records They further urged CNN to be transparent about its dealings with the Arab nation.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 October 2021 |title=UAE: Expo 2020 Dubai held to distract attention from rights abuses, says HRW |url=http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uae-dubai-expo-distract-attention-rights-abuses-hrw |website=[[Middle East Eye]] |language=en |access-date=November 21, 2022 |archive-date=November 21, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221121145731/https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uae-dubai-expo-distract-attention-rights-abuses-hrw |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=September 17, 2021 |title=CNN Won't Say If It's Running Undisclosed PR for a Gulf Dictatorship |url=https://thecolumn.substack.com/p/cnn-wont-say-if-its-running-undisclosed |accessdate=17 September 2021 |website=[[Substack]] |archive-date=January 2, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200102225119/https://thecolumn.substack.com/p/cnn-wont-say-if-its-running-undisclosed |url-status=live }}</ref>

'''Ann Compton''' (born January 19, 1947) is an American retired news [[reporter]] and [[White House correspondent]] for [[ABC News Radio]].

==Career highlights==
Ann Compton graduated from New Trier High School in [[Winnetka, Illinois]], in 1965. She began her broadcasting career in Virginia, where an internship during her junior year at [[Hollins University|Hollins College]] led to a full-time job as the first woman reporting for [[WDBJ]] TV, a [[CBS]] affiliate in [[Roanoke, Virginia|Roanoke]]. She established a State Capitol Bureau in [[Richmond, Virginia|Richmond]] for the station. In 1973, ABC News hired her and she reported from [[New York City]] until December 1974, when she was assigned to the [[White House]].<ref>[http://www.divinecaroline.com/article/37963/29025-ann-compton-gives-journalism--president Ann Compton Gives to Journalism, One President at a Time] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080308192054/http://www.divinecaroline.com/article/37963/29025-ann-compton-gives-journalism--president |date=March 8, 2008 }}</ref>

While reporting for ABC News, Compton traveled around the globe and through all 50 states with presidents, vice presidents, and first ladies through seven presidential campaigns, and, as a White House correspondent, she covered seven presidents, beginning with [[Gerald Ford]]. Weeks after the Watergate scandal came to an end, Compton became the first woman assigned to cover the White House on a full-time basis by a network television news organization, and she was one of the youngest to receive the assignment.

Twice during campaigns she was invited to serve as a panelist for presidential debates (1988 and 1992) and she was assigned as a floor reporter at the 1976 Republican and Democratic national conventions. In 2000, Compton was the chief Washington correspondent for ABCNEWS.com, where she wrote and anchored a daily political column, "On Background."

During the terrorist attacks on [[September 11 attacks|September 11, 2001]], Compton, among other reporters, was with [[President of the United States|U.S. President]] [[George W. Bush]] covering his trip to Florida to promote his education agenda. As the attacks unfolded, Compton was aboard [[Air Force One]] while the plane flew from Florida to other various parts of the country after the President was advised not to return to Washington.

Compton retired from [[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]] on September 10, 2014, 41 years to the day after she began at the network.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/theoval/2014/08/15/obama-ann-compson/14110327/ |title=ABC's Ann Compton announces retirement |last1=Jackson |first1= David |date=August 15, 2014 |website=USA Today |access-date=August 24, 2014}}</ref>

==Awards and associations==
Compton was the chairman of the governing board of the Radio Television Correspondents Association in 1987-88 and served on the advisory board of the Freedom Forum Media Studies Center in New York.

In June 2000, she was inducted into the Journalism Hall of Fame by the Society of Professional Journalists. On November 5, 2005, she was inducted into the [[National Radio Hall of Fame]]. In 2006 she was inducted into [[Omicron Delta Kappa]] as an ''honoris causa'' initiate at the [[University of Maryland, College Park|University of Maryland College Park]].

Compton was part of the team awarded the prestigious Silver Baton Alfred I. duPont Columbia University Award for the network's coverage of [[September 11 attacks|September 11, 2001]]. Her coverage of September 11 was also recognized in ABC News' Emmy and Peabody awards.

In 2013, Compton was named one of the [[Library of Virginia|Library of Virginia's]] "[[Virginia Women in History]]".<ref>{{cite web|title=Virginia Women in History: Ann Compton|url=http://www.lva.virginia.gov/public/vawomen/2013/honoree.htm?bio=Compton|publisher=Library of Virginia|access-date=4 March 2015}}</ref>

She has served as chairwoman of the governing board of the [[Radio and Television Correspondents Association]] and has served on the advisory board of the Freedom Forum Media Studies Center.

She is a former president of the [[White House Correspondents' Association]].<ref>[http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003574772 Greg Mitchell and Joe Strupp, Bush Doesn't Joke at WHCA Dinner Due to Virginia Tech Killings -- But Rich Little Says 'Nuts', Editor and Publisher, April 21, 2007]</ref>

Despite her many achievements and commitments, Compton said that her most valued award is a golden statuette from the National Mothers' Day Committee naming her a Mother of the Year in 1988.

Sphygmomanometer

2025-06-16T12:10:55Z

8.20.65.4:

{{Short description|Instrument for measuring blood pressure}}
{{Cs1 config|name-list-style=vanc}}
{{Use dmy dates|date=March 2024}}

A '''sphygmomanometer''' ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|s|f|ɪ|ɡ|m|əʊ|m|ə|ˈ|n|ɒ|m|ɪ|t|ə|r}} {{respell|SFIG|moh|mə|NO|mi|tər}}), also known as a '''blood pressure monitor''', '''blood pressure machine''', or '''blood pressure gauge''', is a device used to measure [[blood pressure]], composed of an inflatable [[cuff]] to collapse and then release the artery under the cuff in a controlled manner,<ref name='Booth1977' /> and a [[mercury (element)|mercury]] or [[Pressure measurement#Aneroid|aneroid]] [[manometer]] to measure the pressure. Manual sphygmomanometers are used with a [[stethoscope]] when using the [[Auscultation|auscultatory technique]].

A sphygmomanometer consists of an inflatable cuff, a measuring unit (the [[Pressure measurement#Liquid column (manometer)|mercury manometer, or aneroid gauge]]), and a mechanism for inflation which may be a manually operated bulb and valve or a pump operated electrically.

==Etymology==
The word ''sphygmomanometer'' uses the [[classical compound|combining form]] of ''[[wikt:sphygm-#Prefix|sphygmo-]]'' + ''[[wikt:manometer#Noun|manometer]]''. The roots involved are as follows: [[Greek language|Greek]] {{lang|el|σφυγμός}} ''sphygmos'' "pulse", plus the scientific term ''[[manometer]]'' (from French ''manomètre''), i.e. "pressure meter", itself coined from {{lang|el|μανός}} ''manos'' "thin, sparse", and {{lang|el|μέτρον}} ''metron'' "measure".<ref>{{OEtymD|sphygmomanometer}}</ref><ref>{{OEtymD|manometer}}</ref><ref>{{LSJ|sfugmo/s|σφυγμός}}, {{LSJ|mano/s|μανός}}, {{LSJ|me/tron|μέτρον|ref}}.</ref>

Most sphygmomanometers were mechanical [[gauge (instrument)|gauges]] with [[dial (measurement)|dial]] faces, or mercury columns, during most of the 20th century. Since the advent of electronic [[medical device]]s, names such as "meter" and "monitor" can also apply, as devices can automatically [[monitoring (medicine)|monitor]] blood pressure on an ongoing basis.

== History ==
[[File:Sphygmomanometer WWI Memorial de Verdun.JPG|right|thumb|A French sphygmomanometer used during [[World War I]]]]

The sphygmomanometer was invented by [[Samuel Siegfried Karl Ritter von Basch]] in the year 1881.<ref name='Booth1977'>{{cite journal|title=A short history of blood pressure measurement|journal=Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine|year=1977|first=J|last=Booth|volume=70|issue=11|pages=793–9|pmid=341169 |pmc=1543468|doi=10.1177/003591577707001112 }}</ref> [[Scipione Riva-Rocci]] introduced a more easily-usable version in 1896. In 1901, pioneering [[neurosurgeon]] [[Harvey Williams Cushing|Dr. Harvey Cushing]] brought an example of Riva-Rocci's device to the US, modernized and popularized it within the medical community. Further improvement came in 1905 when Russian physician [[Nikolai Korotkov]] included [[diastolic]] blood pressure measurement following his discovery of "Korotkoff sounds". William A. Baum invented the Baumanometer brand in 1916,<ref>[https://patents.google.com/patent/US1594039A/ U.S patent 1594039 Manometer]</ref> while working for The Life Extension Institute which performed insurance and employment physicals.<ref name=nytimes/>

== Types ==
Both manual and digital meters are currently employed, with different trade-offs in accuracy versus convenience.

</gallery>

=== Manual ===
A stethoscope is required for [[auscultation]] ([[#A stethoscope is required for auscultation (see below)|see below]]). Manual meters are best used by trained practitioners, and, while it is possible to obtain a basic reading through [[palpation]] alone, this yields only the systolic pressure.

* Mercury sphygmomanometers are considered the [[Gold standard (test)|gold standard]]. They indicate pressure with a column of mercury, which does not require recalibration.<ref>{{cite web|title=Comparing Mercury and Aneroid Sphygmomanometers|url=http://www.sustainablehospitals.org/HTMLSrc/IP_Merc_Tools_CompSphyg.html|website=Sustainable Hospitals / Lowell Center for Sustainable Production|access-date=23 February 2015|date=2003}}</ref> Because of their accuracy, they are often used in [[clinical trial]]s of drugs and in clinical evaluations of high-risk patients, including pregnant women. A frequently used wall mounted mercury sphygmomanometer is also known as a '''Baumanometer'''.<ref name=nytimes>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/27/nyregion/turning-mercury-into-solid-gold.html|title=Turning Mercury Into Solid Gold |website=[[The New York Times]] |date=27 March 2005 |access-date=5 July 2018}}</ref>
* [[Manometer#Aneroid|Aneroid]] sphygmomanometers (mechanical types with a dial) are in common use; they may require calibration checks, unlike mercury manometers. Aneroid sphygmomanometers are considered safer than mercury sphygmomanometers, although inexpensive ones are less accurate.<ref>{{cite news|last=Misrin|first=J|title=Aneroid Sphygmomanometer: A Battle for Safer Blood Pressure Apparatus|url=http://www.sphygmomanometerhq.com/aneroid-sphygmomanometer-battle-for-safer-blood-pressure-apparatus/|access-date=27 February 2012|archive-date=10 August 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150810185015/http://sphygmomanometerhq.com/aneroid-sphygmomanometer-battle-for-safer-blood-pressure-apparatus/|url-status=dead}}</ref> A major cause of departure from calibration is mechanical jarring. Aneroids mounted on walls or stands are not susceptible to this particular problem.

=== Digital ===
[[Digital data|Digital]] meters employ [[Blood pressure measurement#Oscillometric|oscillometric]] measurements and electronic calculations rather than auscultation. They may use manual or automatic inflation, but both types are electronic, easy to operate without training, and can be used in noisy environments. They calculate [[Systole (medicine)|systolic]] and [[diastolic pressure]]s by oscillometric detection, employing either deformable membranes that are measured using differential capacitance, or differential piezoresistance, and they include a [[microprocessor]].<ref name="oscillometric">{{Cite web |url=http://www.geriatria.unimo.it/PDF/IPERTENSIONE/Oscillometry.pdf |title=Oscillometry, Explanation of oscillometric detection in Medical Electronics, N Townsend, p48-51 |access-date=10 February 2013 |archive-date=22 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130522042033/http://www.geriatria.unimo.it/PDF/IPERTENSIONE/Oscillometry.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> They estimate mean arterial blood pressure and measure pulse rate; while systolic and diastolic pressures are obtained less accurately than with manual meters,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.severehypertension.net/hbp/more/oscillometric-method/|title=Oscillometric Method - Methods of Blood Pressure Measurement - Measurement of Blood PressureMethods of Blood Pressure Measurement -|website=www.severehypertension.net|date=22 December 2007|access-date=13 April 2017}}</ref> and calibration is also a concern.<ref>Turner MJ.

== Operation ==
[[File:MMSA Checking Blood Pressure.JPG|thumb|Medical student taking blood pressure at the brachial artery]]
[[File:Korotkow English.jpg|thumb|upright|Explanation of how blood pressure is measured based on Korotkow sounds]]

In humans, the cuff is normally placed smoothly and snugly around an upper [[arm]], at roughly the same vertical height as the [[heart]] while the subject is seated with the arm supported. Other sites of placement depend on species and may include the flipper or tail. It is essential that the correct size of cuff is selected for the patient. Too small a cuff results in too high a pressure, while too large a cuff results in too low a pressure. For clinical measurements it is usual to measure and record both arms in the initial consultation to determine if the pressure is significantly higher in one arm than the other. A difference of 10 mmHg may be a sign of [[coarctation of the aorta]]. If the arms read differently, the higher reading arm would be used for later readings.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Accurate Blood Pressure Measurements and the Other Arm|year=2013|pmc=3709227|last1=Fred|first1=H. L.|journal=Texas Heart Institute Journal|volume=40|issue=3|pages=217–219|pmid=23914007}}</ref> The cuff is inflated until the [[artery]] is completely [[Vascular occlusion|occluded]].

{{anchor|A stethoscope is required for auscultation (see below)}}
With a manual instrument, listening with a [[stethoscope]] to the [[brachial artery]], the examiner slowly releases the pressure in the cuff at a rate of approximately 2 mmHg per heart beat. As the pressure in the cuffs falls, a "whooshing" or pounding sound is heard (see [[Korotkoff sounds]]) when blood flow first starts again in the artery. The pressure at which this sound began is noted and recorded as the [[systolic blood pressure]]. The cuff pressure is further released until the sound can no longer be heard. This is recorded as the [[diastolic blood pressure]]. In noisy environments where auscultation is impossible (such as the scenes often encountered in [[emergency medicine]]), systolic blood pressure alone may be read by releasing the pressure until a radial [[pulse]] is palpated (felt). In veterinary medicine, auscultation is rarely of use, and palpation or visualization of pulse distal to the sphygmomanometer is used to detect systolic pressure.

Digital instruments use a cuff which may be placed, according to the instrument, around the upper arm, wrist, or a finger, in all cases elevated to the same height as the heart. They inflate the cuff and gradually reduce the pressure in the same way as a manual meter, and measure blood pressures by the oscillometric method.<ref name=oscillometric/>

== Significance ==
{{Main|Blood pressure}}

By observing the mercury in the column, or the aneroid gauge pointer, while releasing the air pressure with a control valve, the operator notes the values of the blood pressure in mmHg. The peak pressure in the arteries during the [[cardiac cycle]] is the systolic pressure, and the lowest pressure (at the resting phase of the cardiac cycle) is the diastolic pressure. A stethoscope, applied lightly over the artery being measured, is used in the auscultatory method. Systolic pressure (first phase) is identified with the first of the continuous Korotkoff sounds. Diastolic pressure is identified at the moment the Korotkoff sounds disappear (fifth phase).

Measurement of the blood pressure is carried out in the diagnosis and treatment of [[hypertension]] (high blood pressure), and in many other healthcare scenarios.

'''Stéphane Matteau''' (born September 2, 1969) is a [[Canadians|Canadian]] former professional [[ice hockey]] player who played over 800 regular-season games in the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL). He was drafted in the second round, 25th overall, by the [[Calgary Flames]] in the [[1987 NHL Entry Draft]].

==Playing career==
As a member of the [[1993-94 New York Rangers season|New York Rangers]] [[1994 Stanley Cup Finals|1994 Stanley Cup Championship]] team, Matteau scored two overtime goals in the [[Eastern Conference (NHL)|Eastern Conference]] Finals against the [[New Jersey Devils]], including one that ended the series and became an iconic goal in Rangers lore. His first overtime goal ended Game 3 at 6:13 of the second overtime in New Jersey giving the Rangers a 3–2 victory and a 2–1 series lead.

His second goal came at 4:24 of the second overtime of Game 7 at [[Madison Square Garden]]. Matteau scored off a [[Glossary of ice hockey terms#W|wrap around]] that was intended for a pass to [[Esa Tikkanen]], only to have it bounced off a stick on the left side of New Jersey's rookie goaltender [[Martin Brodeur]], a play which has been immortalized by the dramatic play-by-play call of Rangers radio announcer [[Howie Rose]]: {{cquote|[[Viacheslav Fetisov|Fetisov]] for the Devils plays it cross-ice, into the far corner.

Matteau finished his career in [[2002–03 NHL season|2002–03]] with the [[Florida Panthers]] and their minor league affiliate, the [[San Antonio Rampage]], and had a career total 742 penalty minutes, 144 goals and 172 assists for 316 total points in 848 games.

Matteau also was a member of the Rouyn Quebec team that played in the Little League World Series in 1982 along with fellow NHL player and first overall pick in his draft, [[Pierre Turgeon]].<ref>{{cite web | title = Former Little League World Series Participants | url = http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/04_2005/05turgeon.htm | access-date = 21 April 2010 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110101004520/http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/04_2005/05turgeon.htm | archive-date = 1 January 2011 }}</ref>

Matteau played for head coach [[Mike Keenan]] on four separate occasions; with the Blackhawks, Rangers, Blues, and Panthers.

==Personal life==
Matteau served as an assistant coach with the [[Blainville-Boisbriand Armada]] of the [[QMJHL]] for two seasons.

Matteau's son, [[Stefan Matteau|Stefan]], is also a professional hockey player. He currently plays for [[ERC Ingolstadt]] of the [[Deutsche Eishockey Liga|DEL]]. Stefan was drafted 29th overall in the [[2012 NHL Entry Draft]] by the New Jersey Devils, the team against which his father scored his famed goal in the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals.<ref>{{cite news| url = http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/there-will-be-bloodlines-112420739.html | title = There will be bloodlines | newspaper = [[Winnipeg Free Press]] | date = 2013-04-15 | access-date = 2013-04-15}}</ref>

==Playing career==

===Early years===
Turgeon was a member of Canada's team that was involved in the "[[Punch-up in Piestany]]", a [[bench-clearing brawl]] between [[Canada men's national junior ice hockey team|Canada]] and the [[Soviet Union national junior ice hockey team|Soviet Union]] during the final game of the [[1987 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships]] in [[Piešťany]], [[Czechoslovakia]] (now [[Slovakia]]) on January 4, 1987. He was the only Canadian who did not initially leave the bench until Canadian head coach [[Bert Templeton]] convinced him to go on the ice.<ref name="Maki">{{cite news |last1=Maki |first1=Alan |title=The brawl that started it all |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/the-1987-brawl-that-made-the-world-junior-hockey-championships-what-they-aretoday/article37423757/ |access-date=January 4, 2020 |work=The Globe and Mail |date=December 22, 2017}}</ref> Many of his teammates never forgave Turgeon for failing to defend his teammates. In the words of [[Everett Sanipass]]: "I'm looking for someone to help (Stéphane) Roy out and I look over at the bench. There's this dog Turgeon, just sitting there, with his head down. He wouldn't get his ass off the bench ... just sitting there when everyone's off the Soviet bench and at least one of our guys is in real trouble getting double-teamed."<ref>{{Cite book|surname=Joyce|given=Gare|year=2006|title=When the Lights Went Out|publisher=Random House|isbn=978-0-385-66275-8}}</ref> Regarding not leaving the bench, Turgeon stated in 2017: "that wasn't my job. I didn't have to fight." Two other players for Canada in forward Steve Nemeth and goalie Jimmy Waite also did not throw a punch.<ref name="Maki"/>

===Buffalo Sabres===
Turgeon was drafted by the [[Buffalo Sabres]] as the first overall pick in the [[1987 NHL Entry Draft]]. [[Rick Jeanneret]], play-by-play announcer for the Sabres, coined the phrase ''"Ooh-la-la Pierre"'' for Turgeon.

Turgeon would quickly make an impact with the Sabres once he arrived. In his rookie season, he contributed a respectable 42 points (14 goals, 28 assists) during the [[1987–88 NHL season|1987–88 season]], helping the Sabres reach the [[Stanley Cup playoffs]] for the first time in three years. His production increased to 88 points (34 goals and 54 assists) for the [[1988–89 NHL season|1988–89 season]] as he quickly became a fan favourite. In the [[1989–90 NHL season|1989–90 season]], he became a star by scoring 106 points (40 goals and 66 assists) and playing in the [[1990 National Hockey League All-Star Game|1990 NHL All-Star Game]]. Turgeon's production dipped a little bit in the [[1990–91 NHL season|1990–91 season]] to 79 points (32 goals and 47 assists), but he was still a solid performer.

===New York Islanders===
On October 25, 1991, after over four years with the Sabres, Turgeon was traded (along with [[Benoît Hogue]], [[Uwe Krupp]] and [[Dave McLlwain]]) to the [[New York Islanders]] in exchange for [[Pat LaFontaine]], [[Randy Wood (ice hockey)|Randy Wood]], [[Randy Hillier (ice hockey)|Randy Hillier]] and future considerations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://buffalonews.com/1991/10/25/sabres-deal-turgeon-get-lafontaine/|title=Sabres deal Turgeon, get LaFontaine|work=The Buffalo News|date=October 25, 1991|access-date=April 23, 2018}}</ref> Turgeon's best season as an Islander was in [[1992–93 NHL season|1992–93]], where he scored 58 goals and 132 points and helped lead the Islanders to the [[Wales Conference]] Finals, where they would lose to eventual [[Stanley Cup]] champion [[Montreal Canadiens]] in five games. En route, the Islanders defeated the [[Washington Capitals]] and upset the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions [[Pittsburgh Penguins]].

The first round series, which the Islanders won in six games, is infamous for an on-ice incident. After scoring a goal to put the Islanders up 5-1 during game six at [[Nassau Coliseum]], Turgeon was checked from behind by [[Dale Hunter]] of the Capitals as he celebrated his goal. Turgeon suffered a separated shoulder and missed the first six games of the ensuing series against the Penguins. Hunter received a then-record 21-game suspension for the hit.<ref>{{cite news|last1=LaPointe|first1=Joe|title=HOCKEY; Hunter's Attack Costs Him the First 21 Games|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/05/sports/hockey-hunter-s-attack-costs-him-the-first-21-games.html|access-date=January 1, 2018|work=The New York Times|date=May 5, 1993|location=Pittsburgh}}</ref> In the semifinals against the Montreal Canadiens, Turgeon tallied five points in four games.<ref>{{cite web|title=Hockey-Reference.com|url=https://www.hockey-reference.com/playoffs/1993-montreal-canadiens-vs-new-york-islanders-prince-of-wales-conference-finals.html|access-date=November 13, 2013}}</ref>

After defeating the Islanders, the Canadiens went on to win the Stanley Cup.

As an Islander, Turgeon was awarded the [[Lady Byng Memorial Trophy]] in the 1992–93 season.

===Montreal Canadiens===
Following the [[1994–95 NHL lockout]] in which the [[1994–95 NHL season|1994–95 season]] was limited to 48 games, Islanders general manager [[Don Maloney]] decided to rebuild the team, which included trading Turgeon and [[Vladimir Malakhov (ice hockey)|Vladimir Malakhov]] to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for [[Kirk Muller]], [[Mathieu Schneider]] and [[Craig Darby]] at the trading deadline. Turgeon would be named [[captain (ice hockey)|captain]] of the Canadiens for the [[1995–96 NHL season|1995–96 season]] after the departure of [[Mike Keane]] to the [[Colorado Avalanche]] in December 1995. During the 1995–96 season, Turgeon would nearly record a 100-point season with 38 goals and 58 assists for 96 points; he would also play in the [[1996 National Hockey League All-Star Game|1996 NHL All-Star Game]].

===St. Louis Blues===
On October 29, 1996, Turgeon was traded to the [[St. Louis Blues]] (along with [[Rory Fitzpatrick]] and [[Craig Conroy]]) in exchange for [[Murray Baron]], [[Shayne Corson]] and a fifth-round pick in the [[1997 NHL Entry Draft]]. Turgeon spent the next five seasons producing well with the likes of [[Brett Hull]], [[Chris Pronger]], [[Al MacInnis]] and [[Grant Fuhr]] as teammates. He averaged more than 70 points per season and scored several key post-season goals during his tenure in St. Louis.

===Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche===
On July 1, 2001, Turgeon joined the [[Dallas Stars]] as a free agent, followed by the [[Colorado Avalanche]] as a free agent on August 3, 2005. Turgeon took a year off during the [[2004–05 NHL lockout]]. Upon signing with the Avalanche, Turgeon switched his jersey number to #87 from his customary #77, as the number was retired by Colorado for [[Ray Bourque]].

On November 8, 2005, Turgeon became the 34th player in NHL history to score 500 goals, doing so against the [[San Jose Sharks]].

On September 5, 2007, Turgeon announced his retirement from the NHL.<ref>{{cite web|title=Pierre Turgeon retires from NHL|url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/pierre-turgeon-retires-from-nhl-1.633207|website=cbc.ca|access-date=January 1, 2018|date=September 5, 2007}}</ref>

==Post-playing career==
[[File:Pierre Turgeon-Mario Lemieux.jpg|thumb|Turgeon and [[Mario Lemieux]] in a faceoff in 2009]]

Turgeon was first considered for the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2010, but was not selected. In 2023, after 13 years of being eligible, Turgeon would be selected for the Hockey Hall of Fame, with him being inducted on November 13, 2023. Up until his selection, he was one of only 5 ([[Peter Bondra]], [[Jeremy Roenick]] (later elected in 2024), [[Keith Tkachuk]], and [[Pat Verbeek]]) eligible players with 500 goals to not be in the Hall of Fame. Also, at the time of his induction, he is the 9th ([[Dale Hawerchuk]], [[Guy Lafleur]], [[Mario Lemieux]], [[Eric Lindros]], [[Mike Modano]], [[Gilbert Perreault]], [[Denis Potvin]], and [[Mats Sundin]]) enshrined player to have been a first pick in the NHL draft.

==Coaching career==
On July 10, 2017, Turgeon was named as the offensive coordinator of the [[Los Angeles Kings]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Pierre Turgeon Joins LA Kings as 'Offensive Coordinator' Assistant Coach|url=https://www.nhl.com/kings/news/pierre-turgeon-joins-la-kings-as-offensive-coordinator-assistant-coach/c-290343652|website=NHL.com|access-date=July 11, 2017|date=July 10, 2017}}</ref> On June 8, 2018, the Kings announced that they had accepted Turgeon's resignation to leave the organization due to family reasons.<ref>{{cite web|title=LA Kings Announce Change to Coaching Staff|url=https://www.nhl.com/kings/news/la-kings-announce-change-to-coaching-staff/c-299001522|website=NHL.com|access-date=June 8, 2018|date=July 8, 2018}}</ref>

==Personal life==
Turgeon and his wife Elisabeth have four children and currently live in [[Cherry Hills Village, Colorado]]. One of their children, Elizabeth, died in a car accident on December 23, 2010, near [[Vaughn, New Mexico]], at age 18.<ref>{{cite news|title=Pierre Turgeon's daughter killed in crash|url=https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2010/12/25/pierre_turgeons_daughter_killed_in_crash.html|access-date=January 1, 2018|publisher=The Toronto Star|date=December 25, 2010|location=Vaughan, N.M}}</ref> Turgeon's son [[Dominic Turgeon|Dominic]] was drafted 63rd overall by the [[Detroit Red Wings]] in the [[2014 NHL Entry Draft]].<ref>[http://redwings.nhl.com/club/blogpost.htm?id=30291 3rd Round Draft Pick], NHL.com, June 28, 2014.</ref> His daughter, Valérie Turgeon, was a forward for [[Harvard Crimson women's ice hockey]] team, playing for two seasons.<ref>{{cite web|title=Val Turgeon|url=https://gocrimson.com/sports/womens-ice-hockey/roster/val-turgeon/10713|website=Harvard|publisher=[[Harvard University]]|access-date=1 January 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Valérie Turgeon|url=https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/372838/valerie-turgeon|website=Elite Prospects|access-date=1 January 2021}}</ref>

Turgeon represented Canada in the [[Little League World Series]] in [[1982 Little League World Series|1982]], along with former NHLer [[Stéphane_Matteau]].

==In popular culture==
[[George W. Strawbridge, Jr.]], an active shareholder of the Buffalo Sabres and director and member of the team's executive committee for more than 30 years, named one of his [[thoroughbred]] [[horse racing|racehorses]] in Pierre Turgeon's honor. [[Turgeon (horse)|Turgeon]] raced for Strawbridge's racing stable in [[France]] where he won several [[conditions races]] and, after retiring, is developing into a successful [[sire]].

'''Jeanne Moos''' (born May 21) is an American retired national news correspondent for [[CNN]]. She was based at the network's studios in [[Manhattan]].

==Biography==
A native of [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]], Moos originally wanted to pursue a career in print journalism, but while attending the [[S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications]] at [[Syracuse University]] (where she earned a bachelor's degree in TV-Radio), she decided to go into the television business instead. In 1976, she landed her first major job in television at [[WPTZ]] in [[Plattsburgh, New York]], as the station's first female correspondent. During her tenure at WPTZ, she covered local and national stories, including the [[1980 Winter Olympics]] in [[Lake Placid, New York]].<ref name=CNN>{{cite web |title=Anchors & Reporters – Jeanne Moos |publisher=CNN |url=http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/moos.jeanne.html}}</ref>

In 1981, she joined CNN as a reporter. It was there that she covered stories ranging from [[political corruption]] to the [[United Nations]] during the 1991 [[Gulf War]].

In the 1990s, Moos began to report on unusual and off-beat soft news stories, which is her current trademark. In 1995, she began a series of reports called "Making The MOOSt Of It".<ref name=CNN /> Moos continued to file reports for CNN in a segment called "Moost Unusual", seen during ''[[The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer|The Situation Room]]''<ref name=CNN /> and until its cancellation in 2014, during ''[[Showbiz Tonight]]'' on [[CNN Headline News]]. These stories tend to focus on subjects related to popular culture and make use of man-on-the-street style interviews, shots of tabloid magazine headlines, and clips garnered from videos on [[YouTube]], and [[TikTok]]. They also frequently take viewers behind the scenes, showing Moos placing prank calls from her office or cracking jokes with other employees in CNN's Manhattan studios.

Moos retired from CNN on June 29, 2024.<ref name=TVNewser >{{cite web | url=https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/ticker-kellyanne-conway-jeanne-moos-skydance-paramount/#:~:text=Jeanne%20is%20Leaving%20the%20Building,all%20fanfare%20and%20lingering%20goodbyes. | title=Ticker: Kellyanne Conway Scores Fox Nation Series, Jeanne Moos Departs CNN | date=8 July 2024 }}</ref>

== Controversy ==
In April 2014, Moos apologized following CNN's airing of a segment titled "Man in thong: Eyes up here, Duchess!", which was deemed "insensitive" and "racist" by viewers. In the roughly two-minute video, Moos mocked [[New Zealand]] [[Māori people|Maori]] culture including traditional dance, costume, a greeting ceremony, and the [[haka]], which she described as "a cross between a [[Chippendales]] lap dance and the mating dance of an [[emu]]".<ref>{{cite news |title=Man in thong: Eyes up here, Duchess! |publisher=CNN |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__YNc_t42WY |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/__YNc_t42WY |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|access-date=2019-01-06}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-04-15 |title=CNN reporter forced to apologise for 'racist' coverage of royal visit |website=The Independent |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/cnn-reporter-forced-to-apologise-for-insensitive-and-racist-coverage-of-the-royal-visit-to-new-9262465.html |access-date=2019-01-06}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=2014-04-15 |title=CNN reporter apologises for 'insensitive' Royals report |language=en-AU |website=ABC News |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-04-15/an-cnn-reporter-apologises-after-royals-report/5391394 |access-date=2019-01-06}}</ref>

=== Ownership ===
In September 1981, production of the program was taken over by MacNeil/Lehrer Productions, a partnership between [[Robert MacNeil]], [[Jim Lehrer]], and [[Gannett]]; the latter sold its stake in the production company in 1986. [[John C.

But John Malone who told McNeil-Lehrer viewers last week that TCI would not seek monopoly control of the information industries had different views not long ago: In 1984, Malone compared the cable industry to “a game of Monopoly” and said that TCI's primary goal was to leverage cash flow and assets to buy more property. He called TCI a “mammoth tax shelter” and said that earning money and paying taxes and dividends was “stupid.”}} {{cite news |last1=Kleid |first1=Beth |title=MOVIES: Arts and entertainment reports from The Times, national and international news services, and the nation's press. |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-12-05-ca-5209-story.html |access-date=2021-05-26 |work=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=1994-12-05 |quote=New ‘MacNeil/Lehrer' Owner: Liberty Media Corp., a subsidiary of cable-TV giant Tele-Communications Inc., has agreed to purchase a two-thirds interest in MacNeil/Lehrer Productions.

As progressive journalist David Sirota suggested two years ago, reflecting on recent investigations showing that super-moneyed, right-wing capitalists such as the Koch brothers and Texas billionaire John Arnold had (along with more liberal software mogul Bill Gates) influenced PBS content through multimillion-dollar donations, the “P” in PBS often seems to more properly stand for “Plutocratic,” not “Public.” None of this should be surprising to anyone familiar with the distinctively big-business-dominated history of U.S. broadcast media. Because the United States fails to provide anything like adequate funding for public broadcasting, both PBS and National Public Radio (a regular vehicle for neoliberal business ideology) depend upon foundations, corporations, and wealthy individuals to pay for much of their programming. Beneath their standard claims to have no interest in shaping public media content, these private funders have bottom-line agendas, meaning that their contributions come with strings attached—strings that undermine the integrity of the “independent” journalism they bankroll. (For what it's worth, between 1994 and 2014, the “NewsHour” was primarily owned by the for-profit firm Liberty Media. Liberty Media was run by the conservative and politically active billionaire John Malone, who had a majority stake in MacNeil/Lehrer Productions, the show's producer.)}} {{cite news |last1=Jackson |first1=Janine |title=What's 'Public' About Public TV's News Flagship? |url=https://fair.org/extra/whats-public-about-public-tvs-news-flagship/ |access-date=2021-05-26 |work=[[Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting|FAIR]] |date=2010-11-01 |quote=A few observers (Variety, 12/5/94) noted that “for Malone, M/L Prods. is a prestige buy that is likely to earn him some goodwill in Washington; TCI has been a frequent target of lawmakers.” As Verne Gay (Newsday, 12/5/94) put it, “The new Republican-controlled Congress may be less willing to bash Malone, even less so now that he owns NewsHour.

In 1973, [[Robert MacNeil]] (a former [[NBC News]] correspondent and then-moderator of PBS's ''[[Washington Week|Washington Week in Review]]'') and [[Jim Lehrer]] teamed up to cover the [[United States Senate]]'s [[United States Senate Watergate Committee|Watergate hearings]] for PBS.

This recognition led to the creation of ''The Robert MacNeil Report'', a half-hour local news program on WNET, which debuted on October 20, 1975; each episode of the program covered a single issue in depth. On December 1, 1975, the program began to air on PBS stations nationwide. It was renamed ''The MacNeil/Lehrer Report'' on September 6, 1976.<ref>{{Citation|title=The MacNeil/Lehrer Report; Unemployment; Unemployment & Election|url=http://americanarchive.org/catalog/cpb-aacip_507-901zc7sd7n|language=en|access-date=2018-05-16}}</ref> Most editions employed a two-anchor, two-city format, with MacNeil based in New York City and Lehrer at WETA's studios in Arlington, Virginia. [[Charlayne Hunter-Gault]] joined the series as a correspondent in 1977, serving as a substitute host for MacNeil and Lehrer whenever either had the night off. She became the series' national correspondent in 1983.

The two developments were especially welcome, public-television officials say, because, seven months after its transformation from a half-hour to an hour, the newscast is still struggling to gain acceptance in its expanded form. Contrary to expectations, the nationwide audience of four million viewers has not grown this year.

From the weekend broadcasts' debut until the March 27, 2022 edition, the Saturday and Sunday editions originated from the Tisch/WNET Studios at [[Lincoln Center]] in [[Manhattan]], as opposed to the program's main production facilities at the Arlington, Virginia, studios of WETA-TV.<ref name="lat-newshourweekend">{{cite news|author=Day|first=Kevin|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-pbs-newshour-weekends-20130617,0,7988324.story|title=PBS' 'NewsHour' to expand to weekends in the fall|date=2013-06-17|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=2013-06-18|archive-date=2020-11-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224040/https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-pbs-newshour-weekends-20130617-story.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="p-newshourweekend">{{cite news|author=Weigner|first=Mackenzie|url=http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013/06/pbs-newshour-weekend-to-premiere-this-fall-166426.html|title=PBS NewsHour Weekend to premiere this fall|date=2013-06-17|access-date=2013-06-18|publisher=[[Capitol News Company]]|website=[[Politico]]|archive-date=2020-11-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224036/https://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013/06/pbs-newshour-weekend-to-premiere-this-fall-166426|url-status=live}}</ref>

MacNeil/Lehrer Productions announced in a letter to the show's staffers on October 8, 2013, that it had offered to transfer ownership in the ''PBS NewsHour'' to WETA. In the letter, Lehrer and MacNeil cited their reduced involvement with the program's production since their departures from anchoring, as well as "the probability of increasing our fundraising abilities."<ref name="c-mlptoweta?">{{cite news|author=Sefton|first=Dru|url=http://www.current.org/2013/10/macneil-lehrer-propose-to-transfer-ownership-of-pbs-newshour-to-weta/|title=MacNeil, Lehrer propose to transfer ownership of PBS NewsHour to WETA|date=2013-10-09|newspaper=Current|access-date=2013-10-10|archive-date=2020-11-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224044/https://current.org/2013/10/macneil-lehrer-propose-to-transfer-ownership-of-pbs-newshour-to-weta/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="nyt-mlptoweta?">{{cite news|author=Jensen|first=Elizabeth|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/09/business/media/pbs-newshour-looks-to-change-ownership.html?_r=0|title='NewsHour' Ex-Anchors to Cede Ownership|date=2013-10-08|newspaper=The New York Times|access-date=2013-10-10|archive-date=2020-11-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224010/https://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/09/business/media/pbs-newshour-looks-to-change-ownership.html?_r=0|url-status=live}}</ref> WETA's board of trustees approved the transfer on June 17, 2014, and it took effect on July 1. At that time, NewsHour Productions, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of WETA, took over production of the program. WETA also acquired MacNeil/Lehrer Productions' archives, documentaries, and projects, though not the company's name. ''PBS NewsHour Weekend'' was not affected by the ownership transfer and continued to be produced by WNET until 2022 when the program moved back to Washington.<ref name=c-newshourownership/>

On July 20, 2015, the ''PBS NewsHour'' introduced an overhauled visual appearance for its weekday broadcasts, debuting a new minimalist set designed by Eric Siegel and George Allison that heavily incorporates PBS's longtime "Everyman" logo. The program also introduced a new graphics package by Troika Design Group and original theme music by [[Edd Kalehoff]], which incorporates a reorchestration of the nine-note "Question and Answer" musical signature that has been featured in the program's theme since its premiere in 1975 and a musical signature originally incorporated into the Kalehoff-composed theme for the ''[[Nightly Business Report]]'' used from 2002 to 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/art/newshour-debuts-new-theme-music/|title=The NewsHour has a new theme song, and we assume you'll want to talk about it|author=Segal|first=Connie|date=2015-07-20|website=PBS NewsHour|publisher=PBS|access-date=2015-07-26|archive-date=2020-11-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224019/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/arts/newshour-debuts-new-theme-music|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newscaststudio.com/2015/07/21/pbs-newshour-gets-airy-new-look/|title='PBS NewsHour' gets airy new look|author=Hill|first=Michael P.|date=2015-07-21|website=NewscastStudio|publisher=HD Media Ventures|access-date=2015-07-26|archive-date=2020-11-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224053/https://www.newscaststudio.com/2015/07/21/pbs-newshour-gets-airy-new-look/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newscaststudio.com/2015/07/21/pbs-newshour-retunes-theme-music/|title='PBS NewsHour' retunes theme music|author=Hill|first=Michael P.|date=2015-07-21|website=NewscastStudio|publisher=HD Media Ventures|access-date=2015-07-26|archive-date=2020-11-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224013/https://www.newscaststudio.com/2015/07/21/pbs-newshour-retunes-theme-music/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newscaststudio.com/2015/07/17/pbs-newshour-to-debut-new-look/|title='PBS NewsHour' to debut new look|date=2015-07-17|website=NewscastStudio|publisher=HD Media Ventures|access-date=2015-07-26|archive-date=2020-11-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224030/https://www.newscaststudio.com/2015/07/17/pbs-newshour-to-debut-new-look/|url-status=live}}</ref> ''PBS NewsHour Weekend'' retained its original graphics package and the theme music by David Cebert and Bernard Hoffer until August 29, 2015, when it transitioned to the same theme music and a reworked version of the graphics package used for the weekday broadcasts.

Ifill took brief breaks from her ''NewsHour'' anchor duties in the late spring and in November 2016 (and was also absent from the program's [[2016 United States presidential election|presidential election]] coverage on November 8), as she had been undergoing treatment for advanced stage [[breast cancer|breast]] and [[endometrial cancer]]. After her death was announced on November 14, 2016, that evening's edition of the ''PBS NewsHour'' was dedicated to Ifill and her influence on journalism, featuring tributes from Woodruff, Sreenivasan, former colleagues and program contributors (news content was relegated to the standard news summary, which aired during the second half-hour).<ref>{{cite web |title= Remembering Gwen |url= https://www.pbs.org/newshour/tag/remembering-gwen/ |website= PBS NewsHour |publisher= NewsHour Productions |date= 2016-11-14 |access-date= 2017-06-08 |archive-date= 2020-11-15 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224017/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/tag/remembering-gwen |url-status= live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/gwen-ifill-61-pbs-journalist-covered-history-made-history/|title=Gwen Ifill, 61, PBS journalist who covered history and made history|date=2016-11-14|website=PBS NewsHour|publisher=NewsHour Productions|access-date=2016-11-19|archive-date=2020-11-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224014/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/gwen-ifill-61-pbs-journalist-covered-history-made-history|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title= Gwen Ifill on being a little girl transfixed by news |url= https://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/gwen-ifill-little-girl-transfixed-news/ |website= PBS NewsHour |publisher= NewsHour Productions |date= 2016-11-14 |access-date= 2017-06-08 |archive-date= 2020-11-15 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224041/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/gwen-ifill-little-girl-transfixed-news |url-status= live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title= The Cosmic Power of Gwen Ifill |url= https://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/column-cosmic-power-gwen-ifill/ |website= PBS NewsHour |publisher= NewsHour Productions |date= 2016-11-18 |access-date= 2016-11-19 |archive-date= 2020-11-15 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224035/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/column-cosmic-power-gwen-ifill |url-status= live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2016/tv/news/gwen-ifill-pbs-dies-1201917581/|title=Gwen Ifill, Longtime PBS Journalist, Dies at 61|author=Holloway|first=Daniel|date=2016-11-14|access-date=2017-06-08|periodical=Variety|archive-date=2020-11-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224014/https://variety.com/2016/tv/news/gwen-ifill-pbs-dies-1201917581/|url-status=live}}</ref> Although the program initially featured guest anchors on some editions between January and March 2017, Woodruff went on to become sole anchor.

On October 14, 2019, ''PBS NewsHour'' launched "''PBS NewsHour'' West", a Western United States bureau at [[Arizona State University]]'s [[Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication]] in [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]]. Anchored by Stephanie Sy, the bureau produces its own news summary with up-to-date information on events that develop after the original broadcast. A version of the program with this summary is shown to viewers in the Western United States and to online and East Coast viewers watching re-broadcasts.<ref>{{cite web|title=PBS launches "NewsHour West," based in Phoenix|url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/pbs-launches-newshour-west-based-in-phoenix|website=PBS Newshour|publisher=NewsHour Productions|date=2019-10-14|access-date=2019-10-15|archive-date=2020-11-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224035/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/pbs-launches-newshour-west-based-in-phoenix|url-status=live}}</ref>

On April 2, 2022, WETA assumed production responsibilities for the ''NewsHour''{{‘}}s Saturday and Sunday editions, which concurrently began originating from the studio at the station's Washington facility used for the weekday broadcasts.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wyllie |first=Julian |date=2021-11-18 |title=WETA to take control of 'NewsHour Weekend' with Geoff Bennett as host |url=https://current.org/2021/11/weta-to-take-control-of-newshour-weekend-with-geoff-bennett-as-host/ |access-date=2024-11-11 |website=Current |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Mastrangelo |first=Dominick |date=2021-11-18 |title=Geoff Bennett lands at PBS following exit from NBC |url=https://thehill.com/homenews/media/582136-geoff-bennett-lands-at-pbs-following-exit-from-nbc/ |access-date=November 11, 2024 |website=The Hill}}</ref> The broadcasts were retitled ''PBS News Weekend'', omitting ''"NewsHour''" in view of their shorter duration. NewsHour Productions transferred production of the weekend broadcasts from WNET in a move to streamline the program's production and news-gathering resources, allowing the weekday and weekend ''NewsHour'' broadcasts to have the same pool of correspondents and to share resources with ''Washington Week'' (which is also produced by WETA-TV). Coinciding with the move, the weekend editions began carrying feature segments covering culture and the arts. Sreenivasan (who remains a New York-based correspondent for the weekday broadcasts and serves as a contributor for the PBS late-night news program ''[[Amanpour & Company]]'') was replaced as weekend anchor by former [[NBC News]] and [[MSNBC]] correspondent Geoff Bennett.<ref name="vty-pbsnewsweekend">{{cite web|title=Geoff Bennett Gets Ready to Launch a Retooled 'PBS News Weekend'|url=https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/geoff-bennett-pbs-news-weekend-1235219819/|author=Brian Steinberg|periodical=Variety|publisher=Penske Media Corporation|date=2022-03-31}}</ref> Then on December 8, 2022, ''PBS NewsHour'' announced that John Yang will become an anchor in the weekend editions on December 31, 2022 (New Year's Eve).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wyllie |first=Julian |date=2022-12-08 |title=John Yang to anchor 'PBS News Weekend' |url=https://current.org/2022/12/john-yang-to-anchor-pbs-news-weekend/ |access-date=2024-11-11 |website=Current |language=en-US}}</ref>

On May 13, 2022, Woodruff announced to ''NewsHour'' staffers that she would step down as anchor at the end of the year, though she intends to continue reporting longer pieces for the program while doing projects and specials for WETA through the [[2024 United States presidential election]] at the earliest.

==Production and ratings==
[[Image:NewsHourControlRoom2005.jpg|thumb|Behind the scenes at ''The NewsHour'', during a Gen. [[Peter Pace]] interview on November 7, 2005|alt=]]
The program is notable for being shown on [[public broadcasting|public television]]. There are no interruptions for advertisements (though like most public television programs, there are "corporate image" advertisements at the beginning and end of each broadcast, as well as barker interruptions asking viewers to donate to their local PBS member station or member network during locally produced [[pledge drive]]s, which are replaced by encore presentations of a selected story segment from the past year for stations that are not holding a drive during that time).

The program has a more deliberate pace than the news broadcasts of the commercial networks it competes against, allowing for deeper detail in its story packages and feature segments. At the start of the program, the lead story is covered in depth, followed by a news summary that lasts roughly between six and eight minutes, briefly explaining many of the top national and international news headlines; international stories often include excerpts of reports filed by [[ITN]] correspondents. This is usually followed by three or four longer news segments, typically running six to twelve minutes, which explore a few of the events mentioned in the headline segment in depth and include discussions with experts, newsmakers, and/or commentators. The program formerly included a reflective essay on a regular basis, but these have been curtailed in recent years; since Woodruff and Ifill became anchors, these essays have mainly aired as part of the end-of-show segment "Brief, but Spectacular".

On Fridays, the program features political analysis and discussion between two regular contributors, one from each of the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] and [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] parties, and one host from among the senior correspondents. Since January 2021, the usual participants have been ''[[Washington Post]]'' columnist [[Jonathan Capehart]] and ''[[The New York Times]]'' columnist [[David Brooks (journalist)|David Brooks]]. Analysts who fill in when Capehart or Brooks are absent have included [[David Gergen]], [[Thomas Oliphant (journalist)|Thomas Oliphant]], [[Rich Lowry]], [[William Kristol]], [[Ramesh Ponnuru]], [[Ruth Marcus (journalist)|Ruth Marcus]], [[Michael Gerson]], [[David Corn]] and [[E. J. Dionne]]. On Mondays, a similar segment, "Politics Monday", features analysis and discussion of political issues with contributors [[Amy Walter]], national editor of ''[[The Cook Political Report]]'', and [[Tamara Keith]], Washington, D.C. correspondent for [[NPR]].

The program's senior correspondents are Woodruff and [[Jeffrey Brown (journalist)|Jeffrey Brown]] (Arts, Culture & Society). Essayists have included Anne Taylor Fleming, [[Richard Rodriguez]], [[Clarence Page]] and [[Roger Rosenblatt]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/indepth_coverage/entertainment/essays/|title=Essays archive|website=PBS NewsHour|publisher=PBS|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140130180025/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/indepth_coverage/entertainment/essays/|archive-date=2014-01-30|access-date=2010-12-17}}</ref> Correspondents have been Tom Bearden, [[Betty Ann Bowser]], [[Susan Dentzer]], [[Elizabeth Farnsworth]], [[Kwame Holman]], Spencer Michels, Fred de Sam Lazaro, the economics correspondent [[Paul Solman]] (''Making Sen$e''), [[Malcolm Brabant]] and others.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/aboutus/correspondents.html|title=Correspondents|website=PBS NewsHour|publisher=PBS|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140130180015/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/aboutus/correspondents.html|archive-date=2014-01-30|access-date=2010-12-17}}</ref>

According to [[Nielsen ratings]] at the program's [[website]], 2.7 million people watch the program each night, and 8 million watch in the course of a week.

=== Honor Roll segment ===
On March 31, 2003, after the U.S.–led [[invasion of Iraq]] in 2003, the ''PBS News Hour'' began what it called its "Honor Roll", a short segment displaying in silence the picture, name, rank, and hometown of U.S. military personnel killed in Iraq. On January 4, 2006, military personnel killed in Afghanistan were added to the segment.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Here, In Silence, Are Eight More.|url=https://www.pbs.org/ombudsman/2006/01/here_in_silence_are_eight_more.html|last=Getler|first=Michael|date=2006-01-06|website=PBS {{!}} Ombudsman|access-date=2020-06-01|archive-date=2020-11-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224038/https://www.pbs.org/ombudsman/2006/01/here_in_silence_are_eight_more.html|url-status=live}}</ref> ''PBS NewsHour'' aired the final honor roll segment on August 30, 2021, after the end of [[War in Afghanistan (2001–2021)|War in Afghanistan]].<ref>{{Cite video |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz68rRK1tyw&t=0s |title=Remembering the U.S. service members who lost their lives during the Afghanistan exit |date=2021-08-30 |last=PBS NewsHour |type=Video |publisher=YouTube}}</ref>

The ''PBS News Hour'' is broadcast on more than 350 PBS member stations and member networks, making it available to 99% of the viewing public, and audio from the program is broadcast by some [[NPR]] radio stations. It is also rebroadcast twice daily in late night via [[American Public Television]]'s [[World (TV channel)|World]] [[digital subchannel]] service. Broadcasts of the ''PBS News Hour'' are also made available worldwide via [[satellite]]s operated by various agencies such as the [[Voice of America]].

A limited number of PBS member stations and regional member networks do not clear the ''PBS News Hour'' on their schedules due to existing carriage on a "primary" PBS member station, a pool mainly confined to "secondary" stations (most of which participate in the service's Program Differentiation Plan) that share certain [[media market]]s with a "primary" member outlet. These include the [[NJ PBS]] network in [[New Jersey]] (as WNET, which co-manages NJ PBS and [[WLIW (TV)|WLIW]], carries the program in the New York City area, the latter airing the program live, while [[WHYY-TV]] does so in the [[Philadelphia]] market); [[KVCR-DT]] in [[San Bernardino, California]]; [[KCET]] in [[Los Angeles]] ([[KOCE-TV]] in [[Huntington Beach, California|Huntington Beach]], which shares ownership with KCET through parent Public Media Group of Southern California and is the primary PBS member in the region, serves as the program's carrier in the Los Angeles market); and [[WYIN]] in [[Gary, Indiana]] ([[WTTW]], the primary PBS station for the Chicago DMA that includes WYIN's [[Northwest Indiana]] service area, serves as the program's carrier in the Chicago market). In Boston, [[WGBH-TV]] airs the program live each weeknight (with a simulcast online), while its secondary station [[WGBX]] rebroadcasts the weekday editions later the same evening, and the weekend editions live; a similar case exists in New York City but in reverse, where WLIW airs the weekday and weekend editions of the ''PBS News Hour'' live while WNET airs them on a tape delay (delayed by one hour on weekday editions and by a half-hour on weekends). [[KQED (TV)|KQED]] in San Francisco airs the program each weeknight in simulcast with its [[KQED-FM|radio sister]] at 3:00 p.m. [[Pacific Time Zone|Pacific Time]] (6:00 p.m. [[Eastern Time Zone|Eastern Time]]), in addition to airing the Western Edition on television at 6:00 p.m. PT. Unusually for many years, the secondary station of [[Milwaukee PBS]], [[WMVT]], carried the program as part of an early-evening news block with the ''[[Nightly Business Report]]'' (which was the lead-in to ''News Hour'' on many member stations until the series finale on December 27, 2019), and half-hour international newscasts from [[Deutsche Welle]] and [[BBC World News]], due to an expanded schedule of [[PBS Kids]] and local-interest programming on WMVS; this has since been rectified with the launch of the all-hours PBS Kids subchannel network.

Archives of shows broadcast after February 7, 2000, are available in several [[streaming media]] formats (including full-motion video) at the program's website. The show is available to overseas military personnel on the [[American Forces Network]]. Audio from selected segments is also released in [[podcast]] form, available through several [[web feed|feeds]] on the ''PBS News Hour''{{'}}s subscriptions page with link to a [[FeedBurner]] website (for free mp3 download) and through podcast services such as [[Apple Podcasts]], [[Google Podcasts]], [[Spotify]], and among others.

==''PBS News Hour'' editorial guidelines==
On December 4, 2009, when introducing the new ''PBS NewsHour'' format, Lehrer read a list of guidelines for what he called "MacNeil/Lehrer journalism":<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/another-chapter-begins-for-newshour|url-status=live|title=Another Chapter Begins for NewsHour|last=Lehrer|first=Jim|author-link=Jim Lehrer|date=2009-12-04|publisher=PBS|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180731075531/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/another-chapter-begins-for-newshour|archive-date=2018-07-31|access-date=2019-10-05|quote=People often ask me if there are guidelines in our practice of what I like to call MacNeil/Lehrer journalism. Well, yes, there are. And here they are. Do nothing I cannot defend. Cover, write and present every story with the care I would want if the story were about me. Assume there is at least one other side or version to every story. Assume the viewer is as smart and as caring and as good a person as I am. Assume the same about all people on whom I report. Assume personal lives are a private matter, until a legitimate turn in the story absolutely mandates otherwise. Carefully separate opinion and analysis from straight news stories, and clearly label everything. Do not use anonymous sources or blind quotes, except on rare and monumental occasions. No one should ever be allowed to attack another anonymously. And, finally, I am not in the entertainment business.}}</ref><ref>{{cite episode| title = Another NewsHour Chapter Begins| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_osfdHNScs| series = The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer| station = PBS| air-date = 2009-12-04| transcript = Another Chapter Begins for NewsHour| transcript-url = https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/another-chapter-begins-for-newshour| access-date = 2019-10-05| archive-date = 2020-11-15| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224038/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_osfdHNScs| url-status = live}}</ref>

== Criticism and reception ==
In 1992, radio broadcaster [[David Barsamian]] called the ''NewsHour'' "stenographers to power", accusing them and other [[News media (United States)|news media]] of having a pro-establishment bias.<ref>David Barsamian, ''Stenographers to Power: Media and Propaganda'' (Common Courage P, 1992), 105.</ref>

In 2003, [[UCLA]] political scientist Tim Groseclose and Missouri economist Jeff Milyo evaluated various media programs based on "[[think tank]]" citations to map liberal versus conservative [[Media bias in the United States|media slants]] and published a study alleging liberal media bias in general. Based on their research, ''PBS News Hour'' is the most centrist news program on television and the closest to a truly objective stance.<ref>{{cite book|title=How Liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind|first=Tim|last=Groseclose|publisher=[[St. Martin's Press]]|year=2011|isbn=978-0-312-55593-1}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://newledger.com/2011/08/the-medias-institutional-liberalism/ |title=Left Turn: The Media's Institutional Liberalism |date=2011-08-10 |first=Brad |last=Jackson |publisher=The New Ledger |access-date=2011-11-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111007034930/http://newledger.com/2011/08/the-medias-institutional-liberalism/ |archive-date=2011-10-07}}</ref> However, their methodology has been questioned.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.brendan-nyhan.com/blog/2005/12/the_problems_wi.html |title=The problems with the Groseclose/Milyo study of media bias |publisher=[[Brendan Nyhan]] |date=2005-12-22 |access-date=2013-10-26 |archive-date=2020-11-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115224043/https://www.brendan-nyhan.com/blog/2005/12/the_problems_wi.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

===FAIR study===
In October 2006, the [[media criticism]] group [[Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting]] (FAIR) accused the ''PBS News Hour'' of lacking balance, diversity, and viewpoints of the general public, and for presenting corporate viewpoints. FAIR found that the ''PBS News Hour''{{'}}s guest list from October 2005 to March 2006 had Republicans outnumbering Democrats 2–1, and minorities accounting for 15 percent of U.S.-based sources.<ref name=FAIR2967>{{cite web |last=Rendall |first=Steve |author2=Hollar, Julie |title=Are You on the NewsHour's Guestlist?

''News Hour'' [[executive producer]] Linda Winslow responded to many aspects:

{{blockquote|FAIR seems to be accusing us of covering the people who make decisions that affect people's lives, many of whom work in government, the military, or corporate America. That's what we do: we're a news program, and that's who makes news... I take issue with the way the FAIR report characterizes each guest, which they have obviously done very subjectively. Witness the trashing of Mark Shields and Tom Oliphant (in the full report), who are not liberal enough for FAIR's taste. When you get down to arguing about degrees of left-and-rightness, I think you undermine your own argument.}}

'''Carol Marin''' (pronounced "''marine''") (born October 10, 1948) is a retired television and print journalist based in [[Chicago, Illinois]].

==Career==
Marin began her journalism career in 1972 at [[WBIR]]-TV in [[Knoxville, Tennessee]] working as a reporter, anchor, and assistant news director. In 1976, she moved to [[WSMV-TV|WSM-TV]] in [[Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville]], where she was instrumental in the investigative reporting that ultimately led to the ouster and indictment of then-Tennessee Governor [[Ray Blanton]]. In 1978, Marin was hired by the [[NBC News|NBC]] owned and operated station, [[WMAQ-TV]], in Chicago, where she worked for almost two decades. {{citation needed|date=February 2014}}

On May 1, 1997, she resigned her position as 6 and 10 p.m. news anchor in protest of the station's decision to give [[Jerry Springer]] a commentary segment on the evening news program that she anchored; her co-anchor [[Ron Magers]] resigned a few weeks later for the same reason. After the two anchors left the station, ratings plummeted and Springer quit.

Two months later, Marin and producer Don Moseley were hired by [[CBS News]].

From 1997 to 2002, Marin reported for the CBS News programs ''[[60 Minutes]]'', ''[[60 Minutes II]]'', and ''Evening News with [[Dan Rather]]''. In 2002 Marin and Moseley left CBS to form an independent documentary company, Marin Corp Productions. They have produced programs for [[CNN]] and ''[[The New York Times]]''/[[Discovery Channel]]. Marin Corp Productions is housed at [[DePaul University]], where they teach DePaul students journalistic ethics at the Center for Journalism Integrity and Excellence.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://communication.depaul.edu/faculty-and-staff/faculty/Pages/marin.aspx|title=Carol Marin {{!}} Faculty A-Z {{!}} Faculty & Staff {{!}} College of Communication {{!}} DePaul University, Chicago|website=communication.depaul.edu|access-date=October 16, 2019}}</ref> {{citation needed|date=February 2014}}

'''Robert Louis Krulwich''' (born August 5, 1947) is a retired American radio and television [[journalist]] who co-hosted the radio show ''[[Radiolab]]'' and served as a science correspondent for [[NPR]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-12-05 |title=Robert Krulwich, Co-Host of WNYC Studios' Radiolab, to Retire in January 2020 |url=https://www.nypublicradio.org/2019/12/05/robert-krulwich-co-host-of-wnyc-studios-radiolab-to-retire-in-january-2020/ |access-date=2022-05-16 |website=New York Public Radio |language=en-US}}</ref> He has reported for [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], [[Columbia Broadcasting System|CBS]], and [[Pacifica Radio|Pacifica]], with assignment pieces for ABC's ''[[Nightline (US news program)|Nightline]]'' and ''[[ABC World News Tonight|World News Tonight]]'', as well as [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]]'s ''[[Frontline (US TV series)|Frontline]]'', ''[[Nova (American TV series)|NOVA]]'', and ''[[NOW with Bill Moyers]]''. ''[[TV Guide]]'' called him "the most inventive network reporter in television", and ''[[New York Magazine]]'' wrote that he's "the man who simplifies without being simple."

==Background==
Krulwich received his bachelor's degree in U.S. history from [[Oberlin College]] in 1969 and his [[Juris Doctor]] degree from [[Columbia Law School]] in 1974. Just two months later, he abandoned his pursuit of a law career to cover the [[Watergate]] hearings for [[Pacifica Radio]]. In 1976, he became Washington bureau chief for ''[[Rolling Stone]]''.

From 1978 to 1985, he was the [[business]] and [[economics]] correspondent for [[National Public Radio|NPR]]. Among other creative efforts, he recorded an opera called "Rato Interesso" to explain interest rates. He went on to host the [[PBS]] arts series ''[[Edge (PBS TV series)|Edge]]''.

In 1984, he joined CBS and appeared regularly on ''[[The Early Show#CBS This Morning|CBS This Morning]]'', ''[[48 Hours (show)|48 Hours]]'', and ''[[Up to the Minute|Nightwatch with Charlie Rose]]''. During the [[Gulf War]], he co-anchored the CBS program ''[[America Tonight]]''. In 1994, he joined [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]].

In 1992, Krulwich appeared as a guest on the first episode of ''[[The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|last=TV.com|title=The Tonight Show with Jay Leno: Robert Krulwich; Shanice|url=http://www.tv.com/shows/the-tonight-show-with-jay-leno/robert-krulwich-shanice-145387/|access-date=2020-08-27|website=TV.com}}</ref><ref name="ShalesLeno">{{cite news |last1=Shales |first1=Tom |title=Jay Leno, The Morning After |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1992/05/27/jay-leno-the-morning-after/2a0861ac-59b4-4846-8096-6ed1ae68ec79/ |access-date=11 February 2021 |newspaper=Washington Post |date=27 May 1992}}</ref> Critic [[Tom Shales]] panned Krulwich's appearance, describing him as "the [[Big Bird]] of economics."<ref name="ShalesLeno" />

Annually through the 1990s, he hosted a semi-fictional year-in-review program called ''Backfire'' for NPR.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SOECAAAAMBAJ&q=Buck+Henry%2C+Jane+Curtin%2C+and+Robert+Krulwich+npr+backfire&pg=PA182|title=New York Magazine|date=1995-12-25|publisher=New York Media, LLC|pages=182|language=en}}</ref> In 1995, at the invitation of [[President of the United States|President]] [[Bill Clinton]] and First Lady [[Hillary Clinton]], Krulwich recorded a live show at the [[White House]] with the rest of the “Backfire” team.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/03/04/at-the-white-house-radio-free-america/58062cb3-a38e-4aa9-a064-7c319afa3ab8/|title=At the White House, Radio Free America|last=Roberts|first=Roxanne|date=1995-03-04|newspaper=Washington Post|access-date=2019-12-05|language=en-US|issn=0190-8286}}</ref>

In 1999, he hosted an eight-part prime-time series for ABC ''[[Nightline]]'' called ''Brave New World'' (which frequently featured his friends, [[They Might Be Giants]], as musical guests).

In 2004, Krulwich became the host and managing editor of the innovative PBS science program ''[[NOVA scienceNOW]]''. The show often tackled science stories considered too complex for television, sometimes using cartoons and musical production numbers to illustrate abstract concepts. In 2005, Krulwich re-established a relationship with NPR, where he made regular contributions to several programs on science topics, while continuing to produce occasional segments for ABC News. By early 2006, with several projects going at once, Krulwich decided to end his work on ''NOVA scienceNOW'' after only five episodes.

Krulwich regularly moderates discussions on scientific topics at the [[92nd Street Y]] in New York City. His presentations at the [[Jewish Community Center|YMHA]] have featured such prominent scientists as [[Brian Greene]] and [[James D. Watson]].

He is a regular correspondent on the PBS investigative series ''[[Frontline (U.S. TV series)|Frontline]]''. Krulwich substitutes for the hosts of NPR's magazine shows, and from mid-2004 to January 2020 he co-hosted the ''[[Radiolab]]'' program with [[Jad Abumrad]].

Krulwich has a prominent role in the 2021 feature documentary film ''[https://objectsfilm.com Objects]''<ref>{{Cite web |title=OBJECTS |url=https://www.docnyc.net/film/objects/ |access-date=2023-06-03 |website=DOC NYC |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-10-10 |title=Objects Is a Documentary Beautifully Unstuck in Time - MovieMaker Magazine |url=https://www.moviemaker.com/objects-is-a-documentary-beautifully-unstuck-in-time/,%20https://www.moviemaker.com/objects-is-a-documentary-beautifully-unstuck-in-time/ |access-date=2023-06-03 |website=www.moviemaker.com |language=en-US}}</ref> as a proponent of recognizing the importance of seemingly useless keepsakes for their history and personal meaning.

His [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] special on [[Barbie]] also won an Emmy.

He has received a multitude of other awards for his reporting, including the [[Extraordinary Communicator Award]] from the [[National Cancer Institute]] in 2000, four consecutive [[Gainsbrugh Award]]s from the [[Economics Broadcasting Association]], and the [[American Association for the Advancement of Science Excellence in Television]] Award in 2001 for a ''[[Nova (American TV series)|NOVA]]'' special on the human genome. He also won the 2001 [[AAAS Science Journalism Award]] for his ''NOVA'' special, ''Cracking the Code of Life''.

''TV Guide'' named Krulwich to its "all-star reporting team." He was included in ''[[Esquire (magazine)|Esquire]]''<nowiki/>'s "Registry of Outstanding Men and Women" in 1989.

In 2010, WNYC received a [[List of Peabody Award winners (2010-2019)|Peabody Award]] for ''Radiolab''.

'''Robert Hager''' is an analyst and a retired correspondent for the US television network [[NBC News]]. Hager started his journalism career in radio before moving to network news. He began his work at NBC in June 1969, covering the [[Vietnam War]]. He worked as a regular correspondent for [[NBC Nightly News]] for 35 years, before retiring from daily reporting in November 2004.

==Biography==

===Career===

After graduating from [[Dartmouth College]] in 1960, Hager began his career by reporting for radio stations in [[Lexington, North Carolina|Lexington, NC]] and [[Raleigh, North Carolina|Raleigh, NC.]]<ref name=nbcolympics /> He moved on to local television soon after, reporting for [[WBTV]] in [[Charlotte, North Carolina]] and NBC-owned [[WRC-TV]] in [[Washington, DC]], before landing a job at NBC News.<ref name=poynter />

Hager started out his career as a foreign correspondent in June 1969, reporting on the Vietnam war.<ref name=poynter /> He was soon assigned to NBC's Berlin bureau, where he continued to cover other foreign trouble spots, including the [[Iranian Revolution|overthrow of the Iranian Shah]] in 1979 and the 1989 [[invasion of Panama]] by U.S. troops. Hager also covered four Olympic games for NBC, reporting from Germany during the [[Munich massacre|Black September terrorist attacks]] of the [[1972 Summer Olympics]] in Munich.<ref name=nbcolympics /> In 1984, he was arrested while reporting from the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco.<ref name=poynter />

During the latter part of his career, Hager's focus shifted from foreign affairs to a wide range of domestic issues. Hager persuaded NBC to relocate him to the Washington DC bureau, but because all of the traditional political beats had already been filled, he decided to mold himself as a "consumer reporter."<ref name=poynter /> Hager had a unique sense of urgency in his reporting style which helped him carve out a niche in the areas of weather and transportation, aviation in particular. He reported on many major airline accidents, including [[TWA Flight 800]] and [[Pan Am Flight 103]]. He also covered many of the major hurricanes that hit the United States during his 35-year tenure.<ref name=nbcolympics /> During his years at the DC bureau, Hager became one of the most visible reporters on television.<ref name=poynter />

Although he retired from daily reporting on November 5, 2004,<ref name=poynter /> Hager continued to file occasional reports for NBC News. He returned to the air to help cover the 2006 coal mine disaster in West Virginia.<ref name=dailynightly>{{cite web

}}</ref> Because of his expertise in aviation accidents, Hager came back again to NBC Nightly News to report on the August 27, 2006 crash of [[Comair Flight 5191]] and the October 12, 2006 [[October 11, 2006 New York City plane crash|plane crash]] that killed Yankees pitcher [[Corey Lidle]]. In March 2014 he again returned to NBC to report on the loss of Malaysia Airlines flight 370. Hager returned to the air again in July 2014 (on MSNBC) to provide his expertise and commentary on the shoot down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, in which 298 people died.

On October 14, 2012, Hager covered the Redbull Stratos high altitude skydive, broadcast on the Discovery channel and streamed live online.

In the 2019 Drama, ''[[The Irishman]],'' Robert Hager is briefly mentioned as a broadcaster.

==Personal life==

Bob Jamieson

2025-05-15T17:22:40Z

8.20.65.4: Added retired for Bob Jamieson.

{{BLP sources|date=February 2009}}
'''Robert John Jamieson''' is an American retired television news correspondent for [[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]] until January 2008. After getting his start in local news in [[St. Louis, Missouri|St. Louis]] and [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago]], he joined [[NBC]]'s national news bureau in 1971. There he reported on a variety of national and international news, including several conflicts in the [[Middle East]]. Jamieson was a frequent substitute news anchor on ''[[Today (NBC program)|Today]]'' throughout the 1980s, filled in as anchor on ''[[NBC Nightly News]]'', and served as the anchor of ''[[NBC News at Sunrise]]'' from 1986 to January 1987. From March 1987 to September 1988, he hosted ''Before Hours'', a 15-minute early morning business news program that was a joint production of NBC News and ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]''. He joined [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] in 1990.

He is a son of [[Robert Arthur Jamieson]], a Scottish immigrant who was a prominent citizen of [[Peoria, Illinois]].<ref>[http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/legisnet92/srgroups/sr/920SR0489LV.html Senate Resolution 489]. Illinois 92nd [[Illinois General Assembly|General Assembly]].</ref> His elder brother was [[Dick Jamieson]], a professional football coach.

Bob Jamieson studied at [[Knox College (Illinois)|Knox College]] but completed his bachelor's degree at [[Bradley University]]. In 1996 Knox awarded him an honorary Doctor of Letters degree.

== Career in Chicago Television News ==
Jamieson was the lead weekday anchorman at [[WBBM-TV]], the CBS owned-and-operated station in Chicago, during most of 1971. In January 1971, he was named replacement for anchorman Wayne Fariss, who had moved to a Miami television station. Jamieson was WBBM-TV's lead anchorman until October 22, 1971, when Bob McBride of [[WJBK-TV]] in Detroit replaced him.

In early 1971, Jamieson was anchor of "The Big News," WBBM-TV's 5 p.m. local news hour and its 10 p.m. half-hour newscast. In fall 1971, WBBM-TV moved the "CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite" from 6 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Jamieson anchored half-hour local newscasts at 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. until he left the station on October 22, 1971.

At WBBM-TV in March 1971, Jamieson reported a five-part series on "The Sexualization of America." A newspaper ad promoting the series queried, "Have our sexual outlooks changed? Are we less uptight about our libidos? Is there really a "Sexual Revolution" going on?"<ref>"Chicago Tribune," February 27, 1971, p. C11.</ref>

A ''Chicago Tribune'' columnist wrote of Jamieson's anchorship at WBBM-TV in 1971 that he had "one of the fastest deliveries in television." The columnist added, "Jamieson has an uncanny facility with words, aided in part by his own editing of the copy before he reads it on the air. The pace adds excitement to the show, but the content is concise, factual and not sensationalized." The columnist also observed that Jamieson looked "like David Brinkley's younger brother and sounds like Harry Reasoner."<ref>Clarence Petersen, "On the Air: 2's News Is No. 3 - but Trying Hard," ''Chicago Tribune'', March 24, 1971, p. B19.</ref>

Jamieson moved to [[WMAQ-TV]], the NBC owned-and-operated station in Chicago, in late 1971. He was a reporter at WMAQ-TV, but sometimes was a weekend newscast anchor.

'''''CBS News Sunday Morning''''' (frequently shortened to '''''Sunday Morning''''') is an American television [[newsmagazine]] that has aired on [[CBS]] since January 28, 1979. Created by Robert Northshield and E.S. "Bud" Lamoreaux III, and originally hosted by [[Charles Kuralt]], the 90-minute program currently airs Sundays between 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. [[Eastern Time Zone|EST]], and between 6:00 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. [[Pacific Time Zone|PST]]. Since October 9, 2016, the program has been hosted by [[Jane Pauley]], who also hosts news segments. Her predecessor, [[Charles Osgood]], hosted ''Sunday Morning'' for twenty-two years (and is the program's longest-serving host) after taking over from Kuralt on April 10, 1994.

==History==
===Charles Kuralt era (1979–1994)===
On January 28, 1979, CBS launched ''Sunday Morning'' with [[Charles Kuralt]] as host. It was originally conceived to be a broadcast version of a [[Sunday magazine|Sunday newspaper magazine supplement]], most typified by ''[[The New York Times Magazine]]''. When the network introduced its new six-day-a-week morning show format on January 22, 1979, CBS News' weekday morning broadcasts were similarly branded as [[The Early Show#The Morning Era|''Monday Morning'' through ''Friday Morning'' respectively]], and were produced on the same set. However, these broadcasts emphasized [[hard news]] as opposed to ''Sunday Morning''{{'}}s focus on [[Feature story|feature stories]]. ''CBS News Sunday Morning'' was the first weekend morning network news program on American television;{{NoteTag|''Today'' and ''Good Morning America'' would eventually launch their own Sunday editions, respectively, in 1987 and 1993. CBS News had produced ''[[In the News]]'' for its [[Saturday-morning cartoon]] lineup from 1971 to 1986, though it was produced as a two-minute interstitial "micro-series" intended for children and pre-teens.}} at the time of its debut, the major broadcast networks usually aired [[Sunday morning talk show|public affairs]], religious and children's programs on Sunday mornings (many of which were preempted by their affiliates for local and syndicated programming). The newsmagazine took over the 90-minute slot previously occupied by three long-running series: religious programs ''[[Lamp Unto My Feet]]'' and ''[[Look Up and Live]]'', and arts [[anthology television series|anthology series]] ''[[Camera Three]]''.

Originally anchored by Bob Schieffer,<ref name="b-weekdayversion">{{cite magazine |date=December 4, 1978 |title=CBS rebuilding morning news show |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1978/1978-12-04-BC.pdf |magazine=[[Broadcasting & Cable|Broadcasting]] |pages=49–52 |access-date=June 7, 2020}}</ref> Kuralt eventually took over the daily role, and was for a short time joined by [[Diane Sawyer]] as co-host. However, the weekday program's then-limited 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. [[Eastern Time Zone|EST]] air time (the long-running ''[[Captain Kangaroo]]'' was entrenched in the 8:00 a.m. hour) hampered its ability to compete with ''Today'' on NBC and ''[[Good Morning America]]'' on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], though it expanded to ninety minutes (from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. EST) in 1981 and was renamed simply ''Morning''.

In 1982, the weekday version was extended to two hours (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.) and reverted to its previous title as the ''CBS Morning News'', adopting a different set and distinct graphics in the process; by March, Kuralt had been replaced by [[Bill Kurtis]]. Meanwhile, Kuralt continued hosting ''Sunday Morning'' until April 3, 1994, when he retired after fifteen years and was succeeded by [[Charles Osgood]].

Although the attempt to apply the same format to weekday broadcasts proved unsuccessful, the Sunday broadcast survived and retains its original format, including elements of its original graphic and set design. Long after the daily editions ended, ''Sunday Morning''{{'}}s opening sequence continued to display all seven days of the week until the early 2000s.

===Charles Osgood era (1994–2016)===
[[File:CBS News Sunday Morning 1999 (Wordmark).svg|thumb|Wordmark Logo used from 1999 to 2004]]
Osgood's first broadcast as host was on April 10, 1994. Ultimately, his tenure of twenty-two years as host exceeded Kuralt's fifteen. Osgood's final broadcast as host was on September 25, 2016.

Among Osgood's personal trademarks were his [[bow-tie]], his weekly signoff ("Until then, I'll see you on the radio") and his propensity for delivering his commentaries in whimsical verse. For example, when the [[United States Census Bureau]] invented a designation for cohabitant(s) as "Person(s) of Opposite Sex Sharing Living Quarters", or "[[POSSLQ]]", Osgood turned it into a pronounceable three-syllable word and composed a prospective love poem that included these lines, which he later used as the title of one of his books:<ref>{{Cite web |last=Smith |first=Jack |date=1985-11-17 |title=Getting the Word Out : The Time Is Right for 'Posslq' |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-11-17-tm-6681-story.html |access-date=2023-07-17 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref>
:"There's nothing that I wouldn't do
:If you would be my POSSLQ."

On January 25, 2004, ''Sunday Morning'' celebrated its 25th anniversary with clips and highlights from the show's first quarter-century on the air. On February 1, 2009, the program celebrated its 30th anniversary, and segments examined how the world had changed in the three decades its debut, the history of [[Sunday]]s in the U.S. and{{ndash}}as a tie-in to the show's logo{{ndash}}the physics of the sun. An artist was commissioned to create new sun logos for the program, which debuted on that edition and were used in future broadcasts. On May 17, 2009, ''Sunday Morning'' began broadcasting in [[high-definition television|high-definition]]. In 2014, rebroadcasts of the program began airing on sister cable network [[Smithsonian Channel]] (owned by CBS's parent company [[ViacomCBS]]) but has since been pulled from that channel's programming.

===Jane Pauley era (2016–present)===
In 2014, [[Jane Pauley]], a former co-host of [[NBC]]'s ''[[Today (American TV program)|Today]]'', appeared as an interview subject on ''Sunday Morning''; positive audience response to this segment led to Pauley being hired as a contributor to the show later that year. Pauley was elevated to the role of the program's host in 2016, succeeding Osgood, once again making her the anchor of a regular morning news program for the first time in over twenty-five years and becoming her first job as the host of any television program since 2005; she continues in this role as of 2024.<ref>{{Cite web|date=September 25, 2016|title=Jane Pauley named anchor of CBS News' "Sunday Morning"|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jane-pauley-named-anchor-of-cbs-news-sunday-morning/|access-date=2021-02-15|website=www.cbsnews.com|language=en|archive-date=April 17, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230417140653/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jane-pauley-named-anchor-of-cbs-news-sunday-morning/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://variety.com/2016/tv/news/jane-pauley-cbs-sunday-morning-anchor-charles-osgood-1201869804/ |title=Jane Pauley Will Succeed Charles Osgood as 'CBS Sunday Morning' Anchor |work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |date=September 25, 2016 |access-date=2016-09-25 |archive-date=April 16, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230416132649/https://variety.com/2016/tv/news/jane-pauley-cbs-sunday-morning-anchor-charles-osgood-1201869804/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Pauley began her role as host on October 9, 2016, nearly forty years to the day since her debut on ''Today''.

==Format==
Each edition follows a story [[totem pole]] in the center of the CBS [[soundstage]], with previews of featured stories set to air during the broadcast (the first four of which feature clips from the story packages with preview narration by the respective correspondent) during the introduction. Each story covered in a given episode has a glass plate with its headline on this pole (digitally inserted on the pole as a prepared graphic since the late 2000s), which the camera follows after the host's introductions. Music in the show is usually limited to the opening and closing title theme. The host introduces each story with a short [[monologue]], then sends the show out to the taped segment. The show usually ends with a preview of next week's ''Sunday Morning'' broadcast. After the commercial break, there is a thirty-second tranquil nature scene.

For most of its history, the program was typically presented live, with a short summary of national and international news headlines, sports, and a national weather forecast right after the featured story teasers, and a preview of the guests and topics to air on that week's ''[[Face the Nation]]'' (which follows the program on most CBS stations) near the end of the program. During the occasional weeks that ''Sunday Morning'' aired a pre-taped theme broadcast, the headlines segment would instead be presented live by another anchor. By early 2022, observers noted that ''Sunday Morning'' had quietly shifted to a pre-taped format; in the event of a major weekend news story, it may be presented with a generic on-set introduction combined with an off-set voiceover by the host.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newscaststudio.com/2022/05/16/mass-shootings-may-2022/|title=Networks cover weekend of shootings across the U.S.|first=Michael P.|last=Hill|work=NewscastStudio|date=May 16, 2022|access-date=July 12, 2022|quote=“CBS Sunday Morning” [...] appeared to be pre-taped, as its [''sic''] normally is[...] It appears that the network tapes a clip of Pauley on set saying the first part of the sentence, perhaps taped ahead of time in the event of just such breaking news, but then dubbed in the specifics via the rest of the audio|archive-date=July 7, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220707005206/https://www.newscaststudio.com/2022/05/16/mass-shootings-may-2022/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Notably, ''Sunday Morning'' includes significant coverage of the [[fine arts|fine]] and [[performing arts]], including coverage of topics usually not covered in network news, such as [[architecture]], [[painting]], [[ballet]], [[opera]] and [[European classical music|classical music]], though increasingly more popular forms of music have been included as well. The program's correspondents tend to ask nontraditional questions of guests (for instance, actor [[Brad Pitt]] was asked about his love of architecture, and [[Grant Hill (basketball)|Grant Hill]] about his painting collection). Television essays also appear, and the program generally has a stable of equally positive and negative news stories to fill up the program when there is no [[breaking news]] of note. Story lengths are longer (lasting up to twelve minutes at a time) and the pace of the program is considerably quieter and more relaxed than ''CBS Mornings'' and ''CBS Saturday Morning'', even after those programs began sharing some of ''Sunday Morning''{{'}}s branding elements.

Commentators [[Ben Stein]] and [[Nancy Giles]] appear in recurring segments to deliver opinion commentaries, and correspondent [[Bill Geist]] also contributes human interest stories.<ref>{{cite web|title=CBS Sunday Morning sticks to tradition|url=http://archive.columbiatribune.com/2005/Mar/20050324Go!012.asp|author=David Bauder|agency=[[Associated Press]]|publisher=Columbia Daily News|date=March 24, 2005|access-date=March 15, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151224104716/http://archive.columbiatribune.com/2005/Mar/20050324Go!012.asp|archive-date=December 24, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=That Old Feeling:Sunday Morning going strong|url=http://www.time.com/time/columnist/corliss/article/0,9565,590986,00.html|author=Richard Corliss|publisher=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|date=February 13, 2004|access-date=March 15, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090114111510/http://www.time.com/time/columnist/corliss/article/0,9565,590986,00.html|archive-date=January 14, 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> The program ends with a nature scene, not given a formal title for most of the program's history, but since entitled "Moment of Nature" as it is now a sponsored element.

In April 1986, ''Sunday Morning'' departed from its usual format to carry a special, two-hour episode focusing on Russian pianist [[Vladimir Horowitz]]; the first half-hour consisted of a feature story following Horowitz's preparations for his first recital in the [[Soviet Union]] since 1925, and was followed by a live 90-minute telecast of the performance from the [[Bolshoi Theatre]]. Kuralt stated that it was only the third time in the history of ''Sunday Morning'' that an entire episode had been devoted to a single subject. The special was broadcast with limited commercial interruption, with sponsorship from [[AT&T]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mull |first=Marison |date=1986-04-18 |title=SPECIAL 'SUNDAY MORNING' : KURALT ON THE ROAD WITH HOROWITZ |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-04-18-ca-674-story.html |access-date=2025-02-08 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Taubman |first=Philip |date=April 21, 1986 |title=for Horowitz in Moscow, Bravos and Tears |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/04/21/arts/for-horowitz-in-moscow-bravos-and-tears.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210124105933/https://www.nytimes.com/1986/04/21/arts/for-horowitz-in-moscow-bravos-and-tears.html |archive-date=January 24, 2021 |access-date=March 31, 2021 |website=The New York Times}}</ref>

==Production==
The program is marked by its distinctive [[Sun of May]]-style logo, which is prominent in the program's title sequence. In addition, in between some segments, images of the sun in various forms also appear. The show's theme is the [[trumpet]] fanfare "[[Abblasen]]", attributed to [[Gottfried Reiche]]. A recording of the piece on a [[baroque trumpet]] by [[Don Smithers]] was used as the show's theme for many years until producers decided to replace the [[Gramophone record|vinyl]] recording with a [[digital recording|digital]] of a piccolo trumpet by [[Doc Severinsen]]; the current version is played by [[Wynton Marsalis]].<ref name=cbs>{{cite news|title=About CBS News Sunday Morning|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1998/07/09/sunday/main13558.shtml|publisher=[[CBS]]|access-date=March 15, 2009|date=July 9, 1998|archive-date=February 18, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090218231835/http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1998/07/09/sunday/main13558.shtml|url-status=dead}}</ref>

''Sunday Morning'' and CBS' other morning news programs, under varying names and formats, have remained fully separate productions, though with occasional cross-promotion and some sharing of correspondents. On August 31, 2021, the network announced that its weekday morning show would be relaunched for the latest time as ''[[CBS Mornings]]'' and its Saturday counterpart as ''[[CBS Saturday Morning]]''. Under this latest reformatting, both programs have taken on some branding elements of ''Sunday Morning'' like its logo and "Abblasen" fanfare, although with a more contemporary feel and aspects of CBS's new corporate branding.<ref name="variety-mornings-launch">{{cite web |last=Steinberg |first=Brian |date=August 31, 2021 |title=CBS News to Launch 'Mornings' in Bid to Capture A.M.

On May 21, 2023, ''Sunday Morning'' received an updated logo and graphics package to align itself with the CBS corporate branding, while preserving the program's existing look and feel in a refreshed form rather than using the versions used by ''CBS Mornings''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-05-26 |title='Sunday Morning' gets new open more aligned with network branding, updated logotype |url=https://www.newscaststudio.com/2023/05/26/cbs-news-sunday-morning-new-open-logo/?og=1 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230603061633/https://www.newscaststudio.com/2023/05/26/cbs-news-sunday-morning-new-open-logo/?og=1 |archive-date=June 3, 2023 |access-date=2023-06-03 |website=NewscastStudio |language=en-US}}</ref>

Neurologist [[Steven Novella]] and paranormal investigator [[Joe Nickell]] wrote in separate ''[[Skeptical Inquirer]]'' articles about [[Erin Moriarty (journalist)|Erin Moriarty]]'s lack of skepticism and "complete journalistic fail" over a March 2018 segment in which she showed clips of spoon-bender [[Uri Geller]] from the 1980s performing "'psychic parlor tricks'" but instead of explaining to her audience that Geller had been debunked many times, with no mention of the work of [[James Randi]]. Novella stated of Moriarty "is (most likely) just an old-school journalist who thinks of paranormal pieces as 'fluff' pieces that don't require journalistic rigor."<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Novella |first1=Steven|author-link=Steven Novella |title=Gullible Reporting about ESP on CBS |journal=Skeptical Inquirer |date=2018 |volume=42 |issue=4 |pages=15–16 |publisher=Committee for Skeptical Inquirer}}</ref> In another segment Moriarty interviewed psychic Angela Dellafiora Ford, who claims that she "psychically tracked down fugitive drug smuggler Charlie Jordan in 1989." Nickell writes that Moriarty "simply takes Ford at her word" and "gushes" over her. Nickell states that Ford's claims are an example of "retrofitting" and incorrect.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Nickell |first1=Joe|author-link=Joe Nickell |title=CBS Sunday Morning Seers Don't See So Well |journal=Skeptical Inquirer |date=2018 |volume=42 |issue=4 |page=17 |publisher=Committee for Skeptical Inquirer}}</ref>

[[Center for Inquiry]] (CFI) editor [[Kendrick Frazier]] wrote of his disappointment that CBS would air a pro-paranormal segment with Geller and a psychic detective. They also classified [[parapsychology|parapsychologist]] [[Dean Radin]] as a scientist, which he is not. In a tweet the next day in response to criticism, Moriarty wrote, "We reported on government experiments with the paranormal – supported by declassified Govt documents. We gave time to both those involved and scientists." Frazier responded, "Just because some part of the government initiated a bizarre little research program at some point in the past, that is not itself a validation of the claims it was studying." Further research by CFI timed the segment and "found it more than 97 percent pro-paranormal and only 3 percent skeptical".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Frazier |first1=Kendrick |author-link=Kendrick Frazier|title=CBS Drops Skepticism in Sunday Morning Paranormal Segment CSI Issues Critical Statement |journal=Skeptical Inquirer |date=2018 |volume=42 |issue=4 |pages=5–7 |publisher=Committee for Skeptical Inquiry}}</ref> In a press release, CFI called the ''Sunday Morning'' segment a "regrettable lapse ... in the ... usually objective and reliable coverage." and called on the program to "take steps to correct the record" and to "provide a more truthful and scientifically rigorous view of this topic."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Fildago |first1=Paul |title=CBS Condemned by Committee for Skeptical Inquiry for 'Sunday Morning' Segment on the Paranormal |url=http://www.csicop.org/news/press_releases/show/cbs_esp_paranormal |website=CSICOP |date=March 19, 2018 |publisher=Center for Inquiry |access-date=July 4, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180704050751/http://www.csicop.org/news/press_releases/show/cbs_esp_paranormal |archive-date=July 4, 2018}}</ref>

{{Campaignbox The Anarchy}}

'''The Anarchy''' was a [[civil war]] in [[England]] and [[Duchy of Normandy|Normandy]] between 1138 and 1153, which resulted in a widespread breakdown in law and order. The conflict was a [[war of succession]] precipitated by the accidental death of [[William Adelin]] (the only legitimate son of [[Henry I of England|Henry I]]), who drowned in the [[White Ship disaster|''White Ship'' disaster]] of 1120. Henry sought to be succeeded by his daughter, known as [[Empress Matilda]], but was only partially successful in convincing the nobility to support her. On Henry's death in 1135, his nephew Stephen of Blois seized the throne with the help of Stephen's brother [[Henry of Blois]], who was the [[bishop of Winchester]]. He was crowned as [[Stephen, King of England|King Stephen]], and his early reign saw fierce fighting with disloyal English barons, rebellious Welsh leaders, and Scottish invaders. Following a major rebellion in the southwest of England, Matilda invaded in 1139 with the help of her half-brother [[Robert, 1st Earl of Gloucester|Robert of Gloucester]].

In the initial years of civil war, neither side achieved a decisive advantage; the Empress came to control [[southwest England]] and much of the [[Thames Valley]], while Stephen remained in control of [[southeast England|the southeast]]. Barons who refused to support either side held much of the country. The [[castle]]s of the period were easily defensible, so the fighting was mostly [[attrition warfare]] comprising sieges, raiding and skirmishing. Armies mainly consisted of [[knight]]s and [[infantry]], many of them [[mercenaries]]. In 1141, Stephen was captured following the [[Battle of Lincoln (1141)|Battle of Lincoln]], causing a collapse in his authority over most of the country. When Empress Matilda attempted to be crowned queen, she was forced instead to retreat from London by hostile crowds; shortly afterwards, Robert of Gloucester was captured at the [[rout of Winchester]]. The two sides agreed to a [[prisoner exchange]], swapping the captives Stephen and Robert. Stephen then almost captured Matilda in 1142 during the [[Siege of Oxford (1142)|Siege of Oxford]], but the Empress escaped from [[Oxford Castle]] across the frozen [[Thames]] to safety.

The war continued for another eleven years. Empress Matilda's husband, [[Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou]], conquered Normandy in her name in 1143, but in England, neither side could achieve victory. Rebel barons began to acquire ever greater power in [[Northern England]] and in [[East Anglia]], with widespread devastation in the regions of major fighting. In 1148, the Empress returned to Normandy, leaving the campaigning in England to her eldest son [[Henry II of England|Henry Fitzempress]]. In 1152, Stephen attempted to have his eldest son, [[Eustace IV, Count of Boulogne]], recognised by the [[Catholic Church]] as the next king of England, but the Church refused to do so. By the early 1150s, most barons and the Church were [[war-weariness|war-weary]] and favoured negotiating a long-term peace.

Henry Fitzempress re-invaded England in 1153, but neither faction's forces were keen to fight. After limited campaigning, the two armies faced each other at the siege of [[Wallingford Castle|Wallingford]], but the Church brokered a truce, thereby preventing a [[pitched battle]]. Stephen and Henry began peace negotiations, during which Eustace died of illness, removing Stephen's immediate heir. The resulting [[Treaty of Wallingford]] allowed Stephen to retain the throne but recognised Henry as his successor. Over the following year, Stephen began to reassert his authority over the whole kingdom, but died of disease in 1154. Henry was crowned as [[Henry II of England|Henry II]], the first [[Angevin king of England]], and then began a long period of reconstruction.

The conflict was considered particularly destructive, even by the standards of [[medieval warfare]]. One chronicler stated that "Christ and his saints were asleep" during the period. Victorian historians coined the term "the Anarchy" because of the widespread chaos, although modern historians have questioned its accuracy.<ref>Bradbury, p. 215.</ref>

==Origins of the conflict==
===''White Ship''===
[[File:BL Royal 20 A. ii, f. 6v. Henry I & White Ship.jpg|thumb|alt=Picture of Henry I and a sinking ship|Early 14th-century depiction of [[Henry I of England|Henry I]] and the sinking of the ''[[White Ship]]'' off [[Barfleur]] in Normandy in 1120. [[British Library]], London.]]

The origins of the Anarchy lay in a succession crisis involving England and Normandy. In the 11th and 12th centuries, north-west France was controlled by a number of dukes and counts, frequently in conflict with one another for valuable territory.<ref>Barlow, p.111; Koziol, p.17; Thompson, p.3.</ref> In 1066 one of these men, Duke [[William II of Normandy]], mounted an [[Norman conquest of England|invasion to conquer]] the rich [[Anglo-Saxon]] kingdom of England, pushing on into south Wales and northern England in the ensuing years. The division and control of these lands after William's death proved problematic and his children fought multiple wars over the spoils.<ref>Carpenter, p.137.</ref> William's son [[Henry I of England|Henry I]] seized power after the death of his elder brother [[William Rufus]] and subsequently invaded and captured the Duchy of Normandy, controlled by his eldest brother [[Robert Curthose]], defeating Robert's army at the [[Battle of Tinchebray]].<ref>Huscroft, p.69.</ref> Henry intended for his lands to be inherited by his only legitimate son, seventeen-year-old [[William Adelin]].<ref>Carpenter, pp.142–143.</ref>

In 1120, the political landscape changed dramatically when the ''[[White Ship]]'' sank en route from [[Barfleur]] in Normandy to England; around three hundred passengers died, including Adelin.<ref>Bradbury, pp.1–3.</ref>{{#tag:ref|There has been extensive speculation as to the cause of the sinking of the ''White Ship''. Some theories centre on overcrowding, while others blame excessive drinking by the ship's master and crew.<ref>Bradbury, p.2.</ref>|group="nb"}} With Adelin dead, the inheritance to the English throne was thrown into doubt. Rules of succession in western Europe at the time were uncertain; in some parts of France, male [[primogeniture]], in which the eldest son would inherit all titles, was becoming more popular.<ref name=BarlowP162>Barlow, p.162.</ref> In other parts of Europe, including Normandy and England, the tradition was for lands to be divided up, with the eldest son taking patrimonial lands – usually considered to be the most valuable – and younger sons being given smaller, or more recently acquired, partitions or estates.<ref name=BarlowP162/> The problem was further complicated by the sequence of unstable Anglo-Norman successions over the previous sixty years: there had been no peaceful, uncontested successions.<ref>Huscroft, pp.65, 69–71; Carpenter, p.125.</ref>

With William Adelin dead, Henry had only one other legitimate child, [[Empress Matilda|Matilda]], but female rights of inheritance were unclear during this period.<ref>Bradbury, p.3; Chibnall, p.64.</ref> Despite Henry taking a second wife, [[Adeliza of Louvain]], it became increasingly unlikely that Henry would have another legitimate son and instead he looked to Matilda as his intended heir.<ref>Bradbury, pp.6–7.</ref> Matilda had been married to [[Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor]], from which she later claimed the title of empress. Her husband died in 1125 and she was remarried in 1128 to [[Geoffrey V of Anjou]], whose county bordered the Duchy of Normandy.<ref>Barlow, p.160; Chibnall, p.33.</ref> Geoffrey was unpopular with the Anglo-Norman elite: as an [[County of Anjou|Angevin]] ruler, he was a traditional enemy of the Normans.<ref name="Barlow">Barlow, p.161.</ref> At the same time, tensions continued to grow as a result of Henry's domestic policies, in particular the high level of revenue he was raising to pay for his various wars.<ref>Carpenter, p.160.</ref> Conflict was curtailed by the power of the king's personality and reputation.<ref>Carpenter, p.161; Stringer, p.8.</ref>

Henry attempted to build up a base of political support for Matilda in both England and Normandy, demanding that his court take [[oath]]s first in 1127, and then again in 1128 and 1131, to recognise Matilda as his immediate successor and recognise her descendants as the rightful ruler after her.<ref>Bradbury, p.9; Barlow, p.161.</ref> Stephen was among those who took this oath in 1127.<ref>King (2010), pp.30–31; Barlow, p.161.</ref> Nonetheless, relations between Henry, Matilda and Geoffrey became increasingly strained towards the end of the king's life. Matilda and Geoffrey suspected that they lacked genuine support in England, and proposed to Henry in 1135 that the king should hand over the royal castles in Normandy to Matilda while he was still alive and insist on the Norman nobility swearing immediate allegiance to her, thereby giving the couple a much more powerful position after Henry's death.<ref>King (2010), pp.38–39.</ref> Henry angrily declined to do so, probably out of a concern that Geoffrey would try to seize power in Normandy somewhat earlier than intended.<ref>King (2010), p.38; Crouch (2008a), p.162.</ref> A fresh rebellion broke out in southern Normandy, and Geoffrey and Matilda intervened militarily on behalf of the rebels.<ref name=BarlowP162/> In the middle of this confrontation, Henry unexpectedly fell ill and died near [[Lyons-la-Foret]].<ref name="Barlow" />

===Succession===
[[File:StepanAngl.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|alt=A medieval picture of King Stephen being crowned|A 13th-century depiction of the coronation of King [[Stephen of England|Stephen]]]]
After Henry's death, the English throne was taken not by his daughter Matilda, but by [[Stephen of Blois]], ultimately resulting in civil war. Stephen was the son of [[Stephen-Henry of Blois]], one of the powerful counts of northern France, and [[Adela of Normandy]], daughter of William the Conqueror. Stephen and Matilda were thus first cousins. His parents allied themselves with Henry, and Stephen, as a younger son without lands of his own, became Henry's client, travelling as part of his court and serving in his campaigns.<ref name=King2010P13>King (2010), p.13.</ref> In return he received lands and was married to [[Matilda of Boulogne]] in 1125, the daughter and only heiress of the [[Count of Boulogne]], who owned the important continental port of [[Boulogne]] and vast estates in the north-west and south-east of England.<ref>Davis, p.8.</ref> By 1135, Stephen was a well established figure in Anglo-Norman society, while his younger brother [[Henry of Blois|Henry]] had also risen to prominence, becoming the [[Bishop of Winchester]] and the second-richest man in England after the king.<ref>King (2010), p.29.</ref> Henry of Winchester was keen to reverse what he perceived as encroachment by the Norman kings on the rights of the church.<ref>Stringer, p.66.</ref>

When news began to spread of Henry I's death, many of the potential claimants to the throne were not well placed to respond. Geoffrey and Matilda were in Anjou, rather awkwardly supporting the rebels in their campaign against the royal army, which included a number of Matilda's supporters such as Robert of Gloucester.<ref name=BarlowP162/> Many of these barons had taken an oath to stay in Normandy until the late king was properly buried, which prevented them from returning to England.<ref>Crouch (2002), p.246.</ref> Nonetheless, Geoffrey and Matilda took the opportunity to march into southern Normandy and seize a number of key castles; there they stopped, unable to advance further.<ref>Chibnall, pp.66–67.</ref> Stephen's elder brother [[Theobald II, Count of Champagne|Theobald]], who had succeeded his father as count, was further south still, in Blois.<ref name="Barlow, pp.163–4">Barlow, pp.163–164.</ref>

Stephen was conveniently placed in Boulogne, and when news reached him of Henry's death he left for England, accompanied by his military household. Robert of Gloucester had garrisoned the ports of Dover and Canterbury and some accounts suggest that they refused Stephen access when he first arrived.<ref>Barlow, p.163; King (2010), p.43.</ref> Nonetheless Stephen probably reached his own estate on the edge of London by 8 December and over the next week he began to seize power in England.<ref>King (2010), p.43.</ref>

The crowds in London traditionally claimed a right to elect the king of England,{{clarify|date=September 2018}} and they proclaimed Stephen the new monarch, believing that he would grant the city new rights and privileges in return.<ref>King (2010), p.45.</ref> Henry of Blois delivered the support of the church to Stephen: Stephen was able to advance to [[Winchester]], where [[Roger of Salisbury|Roger]], who was both the [[Bishop of Salisbury]] and the [[Lord Chancellor]], instructed the royal treasury to be handed over to Stephen.<ref>King (2010), pp.45–46.</ref> On 15 December, Henry delivered an agreement under which Stephen would grant extensive freedoms and liberties to the church, in exchange for the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Papal Legate supporting his succession to the throne.<ref>King (2010), p.46.</ref> There was the slight problem of the religious oath that Stephen had taken to support the Empress Matilda, but Henry convincingly argued that the late king had been wrong to insist that his court take the oath.<ref name=Crouch2002P247>Crouch (2002), p.247.</ref> Furthermore, the late king had only insisted on that oath to protect the stability of the kingdom, and in light of the chaos that might now ensue, Stephen would be justified in ignoring it.<ref name=Crouch2002P247/> Henry was also able to persuade [[Hugh Bigod, 1st Earl of Norfolk|Hugh Bigod]], the late king's royal steward, to swear that the king had changed his mind about the succession on his deathbed, nominating Stephen instead.<ref name=Crouch2002P247/>{{#tag:ref|Modern historians, such as Edmund King, doubt that Hugh Bigod was being truthful in his account.<ref name=King2010P52>King (2010), p.52.</ref>|group="nb"}} Stephen's coronation was held a week later at [[Westminster Abbey]] on 26 December.<ref>King (2010), p.47.</ref>{{#tag:ref|Opinions vary over the degree to which Stephen's acquisition of power resembled a [[coup]]. Frank Barlow, for example, describes it as a straightforward ''coup d'état''; King is less certain that this is an appropriate description of events.<ref>Barlow, p.165; King (2010), p.46.</ref>|group="nb"}}

Meanwhile, the Norman nobility gathered at [[Le Neubourg]] to discuss declaring Theobald king, probably following the news that Stephen was gathering support in England.<ref>King (2010), pp.46–47.</ref> The Normans argued that the count, as the more senior grandson of William the Conqueror, had the most valid claim over the kingdom and the duchy, and was certainly preferable to Matilda.<ref name="Barlow, pp.163–4"/> Theobald met with the Norman barons and Robert of Gloucester at [[Lisieux]] on 21 December but their discussions were interrupted by the sudden news from England that Stephen's coronation was to occur the next day.<ref>King (2010), p.47; Barlow, p.163.</ref> Theobald then agreed to the Normans' proposal that he be made king, only to find that his former support immediately ebbed away: the barons were not prepared to support the division of England and Normandy by opposing Stephen.<ref>Barlow, p.163.</ref> Stephen subsequently financially compensated Theobald, who in return remained in Blois and supported his brother's succession.<ref>Barlow, p.163; Carpenter, p.168.</ref>{{#tag:ref|The events in Normandy are less well recorded than elsewhere, and the exact sequence of events less certain. Historian Robert Helmerichs, for example, describes some of the inconsistencies in these accounts. Some historians, including David Crouch and Helmerichs, argue that Theobald and Stephen had probably already made a private deal to seize the throne when Henry died.<ref>Helmerichs, pp.136–137; Crouch (2002), p.245.</ref>|group="nb"}}

==Road to war==
===New regime (1135–1138)===
Stephen had to intervene in the north of England immediately after his coronation.<ref name=King2010P52/> [[David I of Scotland]], brother of Henry I's first queen and maternal uncle of Matilda, invaded the north on the news of Henry's death, taking [[Carlisle]], [[Newcastle upon Tyne|Newcastle]] and other key strongholds.<ref name=King2010P52/> Northern England was a disputed territory at this time, with the Scottish kings laying a traditional claim to [[Cumberland]], and David also claiming [[Northumbria]] by virtue of his marriage to the daughter of the former Anglo-Saxon earl [[Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria|Waltheof]].<ref name="Carpenter, p.165">Carpenter, p.165.</ref> Stephen rapidly marched north with an army and met David at [[Durham, England|Durham]].<ref name=King2010P53>King (2010), p.53.</ref> An agreement was made under which David would return most of the territory he had taken, with the exception of Carlisle. In return, Stephen confirmed David's son [[Henry, Earl of Northumbria|Prince Henry]]'s possessions in England, including the [[Earldom of Huntingdon]].<ref name=King2010P53/>

Returning south, Stephen held his first royal court at Easter 1136.<ref>King (2010), p.57.</ref> A wide range of nobles gathered at Westminster for the event, including many of the Anglo-Norman barons and most of the higher officials of the church.<ref>King (2010), pp.57–60; Davis, p.22.</ref> Stephen issued a new royal charter, confirming the promises he had made to the church, promising to reverse Henry's policies on the [[royal forest]]s and to reform any abuses of the royal legal system.<ref>Carpenter, p.167.</ref> Stephen portrayed himself as the natural successor to Henry I's policies, and reconfirmed the existing seven earldoms in the kingdom on their existing holders.<ref>White (2000), p.78.</ref> The Easter court was a lavish event, and a large amount of money was spent on the event itself, clothes and gifts.<ref>Crouch (2002), p.250.</ref> Stephen gave out grants of land and favours to those present, and endowed numerous church foundations with land and privileges.<ref>Crouch (2008a), p.29; King (2010), pp.54–55.</ref> Stephen's accession to the throne still needed to be ratified by the Pope, and Henry of Blois appears to have been responsible for ensuring that testimonials of support were sent from Stephen's elder brother Theobald and from the French king Louis VI, to whom Stephen represented a useful balance to Angevin power in the north of France.<ref>Crouch (2008b), pp.46–47.</ref> [[Pope Innocent II]] confirmed Stephen as king by letter later that year, and Stephen's advisers circulated copies widely around England to demonstrate Stephen's legitimacy.<ref>Crouch (2002), pp.248–249.</ref>

[[File:Stephen bird.jpg|thumb|left|alt=A medieval painting of King Stephen holding a hunting bird|14th century depiction of King Stephen with a [[Falconry|hunting bird]]]]
Troubles continued across Stephen's new kingdom. After the Welsh victory at the [[Battle of Llwchwr]] in January 1136 and the successful ambush of [[Richard Fitz Gilbert de Clare]] in April, south Wales rose in rebellion, starting in east [[Glamorgan]] and rapidly spreading across the rest of south Wales during 1137.<ref>Carpenter, pp.164–165; Crouch (1998), p.258.</ref> [[Owain Gwynedd]] and [[Gruffydd ap Rhys]] captured considerable territories, including [[Carmarthen Castle]].<ref name="Carpenter, p.165"/> Stephen responded by sending Richard's brother Baldwin and the Marcher Lord Robert Fitz Harold of Ewyas into Wales to pacify the region. Neither mission was particularly successful and by the end of 1137 the king appears to have abandoned attempts to put down the rebellion. Historian [[David Crouch (historian)|David Crouch]] suggests that Stephen effectively "bowed out of Wales" around this time to concentrate on his other problems.<ref>Crouch (1998), pp.260, 262.</ref> Meanwhile, Stephen had put down two revolts in the south-west led by [[Baldwin de Redvers]] and Robert of Bampton; Baldwin was released after his capture and travelled to Normandy, where he became an increasingly vocal critic of the king.<ref>Bradbury, pp.27–32.</ref>

Geoffrey of Anjou attacked Normandy in early 1136 and, after a temporary truce, invaded later the same year, raiding and burning estates rather than trying to hold the territory.<ref name=BarlowP168>Barlow, p.168.</ref> Events in England meant that Stephen was unable to travel to Normandy himself, so [[Waleran de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Worcester|Waleran de Beaumont]], appointed by Stephen as the lieutenant of Normandy, and Theobald led the efforts to defend the duchy.<ref>Crouch (2008b), pp.46–47; Crouch (2002), p.252.</ref> Stephen himself only returned to the duchy in 1137, where he met with Louis VI and Theobald to agree to an informal regional alliance, probably brokered by Henry, to counter the growing Angevin power in the region.<ref>Crouch (2008b), p.47.</ref> As part of this deal, Louis recognised Stephen's son Eustace as Duke of Normandy in exchange for Eustace giving fealty to the French king.<ref>Barlow, p.168;</ref> Stephen was less successful in regaining the [[Argentan]] province along the Normandy and Anjou border, which Geoffrey had taken at the end of 1135.<ref>Davis, p.27.</ref> Stephen formed an army to retake it, but the frictions between his Flemish mercenary forces led by William of Ypres and the local Norman barons resulted in a battle between the two halves of his army.<ref>Davis, p.27; Bennett, p.102.</ref> The Norman forces then deserted the king, forcing Stephen to give up his campaign.<ref>Davis, p.28.</ref> Stephen agreed to another truce with Geoffrey, promising to pay him 2,000 [[mark (money)|marks]] a year in exchange for peace along the Norman borders.<ref name=BarlowP168/>{{#tag:ref|[[Geoffrey of Anjou]] appears to have agreed to this at least partially because of the pressure of the combined Anglo-Norman-French regional alliance against him.<ref>Crouch (2008b), p.50; Barlow, p.168.</ref> Medieval financial figures are notoriously hard to convert into modern currency; for comparison, 2,000 marks equated to around £1,333 in a period in which a major castle rebuilding project might cost around £1,115.<ref>Pettifer, p.257.</ref>|group="nb"}}

Stephen's first years as king can be interpreted in different ways. Seen positively, Stephen stabilised the northern border with Scotland, contained Geoffrey's attacks on Normandy, was at peace with Louis VI, enjoyed good relations with the church and had the broad support of his barons.<ref>Barlow, pp.165, 167; Stringer, pp.17–18.</ref> There were significant underlying problems, nonetheless. The north of England was now controlled by David and Prince Henry, Stephen had abandoned Wales, the fighting in Normandy had considerably destabilised the duchy, and an increasing number of barons felt that Stephen had given them neither the lands nor the titles they felt they deserved or were owed.<ref>Barlow, p.168; Crouch (1998), p.264; Carpenter, p.168.</ref> Stephen was also rapidly running out of money: Henry's considerable treasury had been emptied by 1138 due to the costs of running Stephen's more lavish court, and the need to raise and maintain his mercenary armies fighting in England and Normandy.<ref name=CarpenterP169>Carpenter, p.169.</ref>

===Early fighting (1138–1139)===
Fighting broke out on several fronts during 1138. Firstly, [[Robert, 1st Earl of Gloucester|Robert of Gloucester]] rebelled against the king, starting the descent into civil war in England.<ref name=CarpenterP169/> An illegitimate son of Henry I and the half-brother of the Empress Matilda, Robert was one of the most powerful Anglo-Norman barons, controlling estates in Normandy as well as the [[Earldom of Gloucester]].<ref name=BarlowP169>Barlow, p.169.</ref> In 1138, Robert renounced his fealty to Stephen and declared his support for Matilda, triggering a major regional rebellion in [[Kent]] and across the south-west of England, although Robert himself remained in Normandy.<ref>Stringer, p.18.</ref> Matilda had not been particularly active in asserting her claims to the throne since 1135 and in many ways it was Robert that took the initiative in declaring war in 1138.<ref>Chibnall, pp.70–71; Bradbury, p.25.</ref> In France, Geoffrey took advantage of the situation by re-invading Normandy. David of Scotland also invaded the north of England once again, announcing that he was supporting the claim of his niece the Empress Matilda to the throne, pushing south into [[Yorkshire]].<ref name="CarpenterP166"/>{{#tag:ref|[[David I of Scotland|David I]] was related to the [[Empress Matilda]] and to [[Matilda of Boulogne]] through his mother, Queen [[Saint Margaret of Scotland|Margaret]].|group="nb"}}

Stephen rapidly responded to the revolts and invasions, focusing primarily on England rather than Normandy. His wife Matilda was sent to Kent with ships and resources from Boulogne, with the task of retaking the key port of [[Dover]], under Robert's control.<ref name=BarlowP169/> A small number of Stephen's household knights were sent north to help the fight against the Scots, where David's forces were defeated later that year at the [[Battle of the Standard]] in August by the forces of [[Thurstan]], the [[Archbishop of York]].<ref name=CarpenterP166>Carpenter, p.166.</ref> Despite this victory, David still occupied most of the north of England.<ref name=CarpenterP166/> Stephen himself went west in an attempt to regain control of [[Gloucestershire]], first striking north into the [[Welsh Marches]], taking [[Hereford]] and [[Shrewsbury]], then heading south to [[Bath, Somerset|Bath]].<ref name=BarlowP169/> [[Bristol]] proved too strong for him, and Stephen contented himself with raiding and pillaging the surrounding area.<ref name=BarlowP169/> The rebels appear to have expected Robert to intervene with support, but he remained in Normandy throughout the year, trying to persuade the Empress Matilda to invade England herself.<ref>Bradbury, p.67.</ref> Dover finally surrendered to the queen's forces later in the year.<ref name=Crouch2002P256>Crouch (2002), p.256.</ref>

Stephen's military campaign in England had progressed well, and historian David Crouch describes it as "a military achievement of the first rank".<ref name=Crouch2002P256/> The king took the opportunity of his military advantage to forge a peace agreement with Scotland.<ref name=Crouch2002P256/> Stephen's wife Matilda was sent to negotiate another agreement between Stephen and David, called the [[Treaty of Durham (1139)|treaty of Durham]]; Northumbria and Cumbria would effectively be granted to David and his son [[Henry, Earl of Northumbria|Henry]], in exchange for their fealty and future peace along the border.<ref name=CarpenterP166/> The powerful [[Ranulf de Gernon, 4th Earl of Chester|Ranulf, Earl of Chester]], considered himself to hold the traditional rights to Carlisle and Cumberland and was extremely displeased to see them being given to the Scots, a problem which would have long lasting implications in the war.<ref name=DavisP50/>

===Preparations for war (1139)===
[[File:Goodrich Castle keep1.jpg|thumb|alt=A photograph of the keep at Goodrich Castle in the 21st century|The [[keep]] at [[Goodrich Castle|Goodrich]] in [[Herefordshire]] in the [[Welsh Marches]], an example of the style of fortification slowly beginning to replace wooden [[motte and bailey]] castle designs by the late 1130s]]
By 1139, an invasion of England by Robert and Matilda appeared imminent. Geoffrey and Matilda had secured much of Normandy and, together with Robert, spent the beginning of the year mobilising forces ready for a cross-Channel expedition.<ref>Chibnall, p.74.</ref> Matilda also appealed to the papacy at the start of the year, putting forward her legal claim to the English throne; the pope declined to reverse his earlier support for Stephen, but from Matilda's perspective the case usefully established that Stephen's claim was disputed.<ref>Chibnall, pp.75–76.</ref>

Meanwhile, Stephen prepared for the coming conflict by creating a number of additional [[List of earldoms|earldoms]].<ref>Bradbury, p.52.</ref> Only a handful of earldoms had existed under Henry I and these had been largely symbolic in nature. Stephen created many more, filling them with men he considered to be loyal, capable military commanders, and in the more vulnerable parts of the country assigning them new lands and additional executive powers.<ref>Bradbury, p.70.</ref>{{#tag:ref|R. Davis and W. L. Warren argue that the typical earldom involved the delegation of considerable royal powers; Keith Stringer and Judith Green capture the current consensus that the degree of delegated powers followed the degree of threat, and that perhaps fewer powers in total were delegated than once thought.<ref>White (2000), pp.76–77.</ref>|group="nb"}} Stephen appears to have had several objectives in mind, including both ensuring the loyalty of his key supporters by granting them these honours, and improving his defences in vulnerable parts of the kingdom. Stephen was heavily influenced by his principal advisor, [[Waleran de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Worcester|Waleran de Beaumont]], the twin brother of [[Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester|Robert of Leicester]]. The Beaumont twins and their younger brother and cousins received the majority of these new earldoms.<ref>Barlow, pp.171–172; Crouch (2008a), p.29.</ref> From 1138 onwards, Stephen gave them the earldoms of [[Earl of Worcester|Worcester]], [[Earldom of Leicester|Leicester]], [[Earl of Hertford|Hertford]], [[Earldom of Warwick|Warwick]] and [[Earl of Pembroke|Pembroke]], which—especially when combined with the possessions of Stephen's new ally, Prince Henry, in Cumberland and Northumbria—created a wide block of territory to act as a [[buffer zone]] between the troubled south-west, [[Chester]] and the rest of the kingdom.<ref>Barlow, p.172.</ref>

Stephen took steps to remove a group of bishops he regarded as a threat to his rule. The royal administration under Henry I had been headed by [[Roger of Salisbury|Roger]], the [[Bishop of Salisbury]], supported by Roger's nephews, [[Alexander of Lincoln|Alexander]] and [[Nigel (Bishop of Ely)|Nigel]], the Bishops of [[Bishop of Lincoln|Lincoln]] and [[Bishop of Ely|Ely]] respectively, and Roger's son, [[Roger le Poer]], who was the [[Lord Chancellor]].<ref>Davis, p.31.</ref> These bishops were powerful landowners as well as ecclesiastical rulers, and they had begun to build new castles and increase the size of their military forces, leading Stephen to suspect that they were about to defect to the Empress Matilda. Roger and his family were also enemies of Waleran, who disliked their control of the royal administration.<ref name=DavisP32/> In June 1139, Stephen held his court in Oxford, where a fight between [[Alan, 1st Earl of Richmond|Alan of Brittany]] and Roger's men broke out, an incident probably deliberately created by Stephen.<ref name=DavisP32>Davis, p.32.</ref> Stephen responded by demanding that Roger and the other bishops surrender all of their castles in England. This threat was backed up by the arrest of the bishops, with the exception of Nigel who had taken refuge in [[Devizes Castle]]; the bishop only surrendered after Stephen besieged the castle and threatened to execute Roger le Poer.<ref>Yoshitake, p.98.</ref> The remaining castles were then surrendered to the king.<ref name=DavisP32/>{{#tag:ref|The impact of these arrests on the efficacy of the subsequent royal administration and the loyalty of the wider English church has been much discussed. Kenji Yoshitake represents the current academic consensus when he notes that the impact of the arrests "was not serious", placing the beginning of the disintegration of the royal government at the subsequent Battle of Lincoln.<ref>Yoshitake, pp.97–98; 108–109.</ref>|group="nb"}} The incident removed any military threat from the bishops, but it may have damaged Stephen's relationship with the senior clergy, and in particular with his brother Henry.<ref>Davis, p.34; Barlow, p.173.</ref>{{#tag:ref|Keith Stringer argues that Stephen "was surely right" to seize the castles, and that the act was a "calculated display of royal masterfulness"; Jim Bradbury and Frank Barlow praise the military soundness of the tactic. David Carpenter and R. Davis observe that Stephen had ended up breaking his promises to the Church, was forced to appear before a church court, and damaged his relationship with Henry of Blois, which would have grave implications in 1141.<ref>Stringer, p.20; Bradbury, p.61; Davis, p.35; Barlow, p.173; Carpenter, p.170.</ref>|group="nb"}} Both sides were now ready for war.

==Warfare==
===Technology and tactics===
[[File:Tapisserie cavaliers.JPG|thumb|upright=1.3|Knights in the 1140s still closely resembled those of the previous century, depicted here in the [[Bayeux Tapestry]]]]
Anglo-Norman warfare during the civil war was characterised by [[Attrition warfare|attritional]] military campaigns, in which commanders tried to raid enemy lands and seize castles in order to allow them to take control of their adversaries' territory, ultimately winning slow, strategic victories.<ref name=BradburyP71>Bradbury, p.71.</ref> Occasionally pitched battles were fought between armies but these were considered highly risky endeavours and were usually avoided by prudent commanders.<ref name=BradburyP71/> Despite the use of feudal levies, Norman warfare traditionally depended on rulers raising and spending large sums of cash.<ref>Morillo, pp.16–17.</ref> The cost of warfare had risen considerably in the first part of the 12th century, and adequate supplies of ready cash were increasingly proving important in the success of campaigns.<ref>Stringer, pp.24–25.</ref>

Stephen and Matilda's households centred on small bodies of knights called the ''[[familia regis]]''; this inner circle formed the basis for a headquarters in any military campaign.<ref>Morillo, pp.51–52.</ref> The armies of the period were still similar to those of the previous century, comprising bodies of mounted, armoured [[knight]]s, supported by [[infantry]].<ref name=BradburyP74>Bradbury, p.74.</ref> Many of these men would have worn long mail hauberks, with [[helmet]]s, [[greave]]s and arm protection.<ref name=BradburyP74/> [[Sword]]s were common, along with [[lance]]s for cavalry; [[crossbow]]men had become more numerous, and [[longbow]]s were occasionally used in battle alongside the older [[shortbow]].<ref name=BradburyP74/> These forces were either [[feudal]] levies, drawn up by local nobles for a limited period of service during a campaign or, increasingly, mercenaries, who were expensive but more flexible in the duration of their service and often more skilled.<ref>Morillo, p.52.</ref>

The Normans had first developed castles in the 10th and 11th centuries, and their occupation of England after 1066 had made extensive use of them. Most castles took the form of earthwork and timber [[motte-and-bailey]] or [[ringwork]] constructs; easily built with local labour and resources, these were resilient and easy to defend. The Anglo-Norman elite became adept at strategically placing these castles along rivers and valleys to control populations, trade and regions.<ref>Prior ref.</ref> In the decades before the civil war, some newer, stone-built [[keep]]s had begun to be introduced. Unlike the more traditional designs, these required expensive skilled labourers and could only be built slowly over many seasons. Although these square keeps later proved to have vulnerabilities, the [[ballista]]e and [[mangonel]]s used in the 1140s were significantly less powerful than the later [[trebuchet]] designs, giving defenders a substantial advantage over attackers.<ref>Bradbury, p.73.</ref> As a result, slow sieges to starve defenders out, or [[Mining (military)|mining operations]] to undermine walls, tended to be preferred by commanders over direct assaults.<ref name=BradburyP71/>

[[File:Pickering Counter castle.jpg|thumb|upright=1.35|left|[[Pickering Castle]] in [[North Yorkshire]] (right), and the [[counter-castle]] possibly from the years of the Anarchy (background, upper left)]]
Both sides responded by building new castles, sometimes creating systems of strategic fortifications. In the south-west Matilda's supporters built a range of castles to protect the territory, usually motte-and-bailey designs such as those at [[Winchcombe Castle|Winchcombe]], [[Upper Slaughter]], or [[Bampton Castle, Oxfordshire|Bampton]].<ref>Walker, p.15.</ref> Similarly, Stephen built a new chain of fen-edge castles at [[Burwell, Cambridgeshire#Burwell Castle|Burwell]], [[Lidgate]], [[Rampton, Cambridgeshire|Rampton]], [[Caxton, Cambridgeshire|Caxton]], and [[Swavesey]] – each about six to nine miles (ten to fifteen km) apart – in order to protect his lands around Cambridge.<ref>Creighton, p.59.</ref> Many of these castles were termed "[[Adulterine castle|adulterine]]", unauthorised, because, in the chaos of the war, no royal permission had given to the lord for their construction.<ref>Coulson, p.69.</ref> Contemporary chroniclers saw this as a matter of concern; [[Robert of Torigni]] suggested that as many as 1,115 such castles had been built during the conflict, although this was probably an exaggeration as elsewhere he suggests an alternative figure of 126.<ref>Coulson, p.69; Bradbury, p.191.</ref>

Another feature of the war was the creation of many "[[counter-castles]]".<ref>Bradbury, p.28.</ref> or "siege castles". At least 17 such sites have been identified through documentary and archaeological research, but this likely under-estimates the number that were built during the conflict.<ref>Creighton and Wright, p.53.</ref> These had been used in English conflicts for several years before the civil war and involved building a basic castle during a siege, alongside the main target of attack.<ref name=Creighton2005P56>Creighton, p.56.</ref> Typically these would be built in either a ringwork or a motte-and-bailey design between 200 and 300 yards (180 to 270 metres) away from the target, just beyond the range of a bow.<ref name=Creighton2005P56/> Counter-castles could be used to either act as platforms for siege weaponry, or as bases for controlling the region in their own right.<ref>Creighton, p.57.</ref> Most siege castles were intended for temporary use and were often destroyed ([[slighted]]) afterwards. While most survive poorly, the [[Earthworks (archaeology)|earthworks]] of 'the Rings' near [[Corfe Castle]] in Dorset is an unusually well preserved example.<ref>Creighton and Wright, pp.56–57, 59.</ref>

===Leaders===
King Stephen was extremely wealthy, well-mannered, modest and liked by his peers; he was also considered a man capable of firm action.<ref name=King2010P301>King (2010), p.301.</ref> His personal qualities as a military leader focused on his skill in personal combat, his capabilities in siege warfare and a remarkable ability to move military forces quickly over relatively long distances.<ref>Stringer, pp.15–16; Davis, p.127.</ref> Rumours of his father's cowardice during the First Crusade continued to circulate, and a desire to avoid the same reputation may have influenced some of Stephen's rasher military actions.<ref>Barlow, p.167.</ref> Stephen drew heavily on his wife, Queen Matilda of Boulogne (not to be confused with Empress Matilda), during the conflict, both for leading negotiations and maintaining his cause and army while imprisoned in 1141; Matilda led the royal household during this period in partnership with Stephen's mercenary leader [[William of Ypres]].<ref>Carpenter, p.172.</ref>

The Empress's faction lacked an equivalent war leader to Stephen. Matilda had a firm grounding in government from her time as empress, where she had presided in court cases and acted as regent in Italy with the Imperial army on campaign.<ref>Chibnall, pp.26, 33.</ref> Nonetheless, Matilda, as a woman, could not personally lead forces into battle.<ref>Chibnall, p.97.</ref> Matilda was less popular with contemporary chroniclers than Stephen; in many ways she took after her father, being prepared to loudly demand compliance of her court, when necessary issuing threats and generally appearing arrogant.<ref>Chibnall, pp.62–63.</ref> This was felt to be particularly inappropriate since she was a woman.<ref>Chibnall, p.63.</ref> Matilda's husband, Geoffrey of Anjou, played an important role in seizing Normandy during the war but did not cross into England. Geoffrey and Matilda's marriage was not an easy one; it had almost collapsed altogether in 1130.<ref>Chibnall, pp.58–59.</ref>

For most of the war, therefore, the Angevin armies were led into battle by a handful of senior nobles. The most important of these was Robert of Gloucester, the half-brother of the Empress. He was known for his qualities as a statesman, his military experience and leadership ability.<ref name=BarlowP169/> Robert had tried to convince Theobald to take the throne in 1135; he did not attend Stephen's first court in 1136 and it took several summonses to convince him to attend court at [[Oxford]] later that year.<ref>King (2010), pp.61–62.</ref> [[Miles of Gloucester]] was another capable military leader up until his death in 1143; there were some political tensions between him and Robert, but the two could work together on campaigns.<ref>Davis, p.40; Chibnall, p.82.</ref> One of Matilda's most loyal followers was [[Brian Fitz Count]], like Miles a [[marcher lord]] from Wales. Fitz Count was apparently motivated by a strong moral duty to uphold his oath to Matilda and proved critical in defending the Thames corridor.<ref>Chibnall, pp.85–87; Bradbury, p.50.</ref>

==Civil war==
===Initial phase (1139–1140)===
[[File:Political map of England 1140.PNG|thumb|alt=A colour coded map of England showing the political factions in 1140|Political map of Wales and southern England in 1140; red = areas under Stephen's control, blue = Matilda, grey = indigenous Welsh]]
The Angevin invasion finally arrived in August. [[Baldwin de Redvers]] crossed over from Normandy to [[Wareham, Dorset|Wareham]] in an initial attempt to capture a port to receive the Empress Matilda's invading army, but Stephen's forces forced him to retreat into the south-west.<ref name=DavisP39>Davis, p.39.</ref> The following month the Empress was invited by the [[Adeliza of Louvain|Dowager Queen Adeliza]] to land at [[Arundel]] instead, and on 30 September Robert of Gloucester and the Empress arrived in England with 140 knights.<ref name=DavisP39/>{{#tag:ref|Edmund King disagrees about that the Empress received an invitation to [[Arundel Castle|Arundel]], arguing that she appeared unexpectedly.<ref>King (2010), p.116.</ref>|group="nb"}} Matilda stayed at [[Arundel Castle]], whilst Robert marched north-west to [[Wallingford Castle|Wallingford]] and Bristol, hoping to raise support for the rebellion and to link up with [[Miles of Gloucester]], who took the opportunity to renounce his fealty to the king.<ref>Davis, p.40.</ref>

Stephen responded by promptly moving south, besieging Arundel and trapping Matilda inside the castle.<ref name=BradburyP78>Bradbury, p.78.</ref> Stephen then agreed to a truce proposed by his brother, Henry of Blois; the full details of the truce are not known, but the results were that Stephen first released Matilda from the siege and then allowed her and her household of knights to be escorted to the south-west, where they were reunited with Robert of Gloucester.<ref name=BradburyP78/> The reasoning behind Stephen's decision to release his rival remains unclear. Contemporary chroniclers suggested that Henry argued that it would be in Stephen's own best interests to release the Empress and concentrate instead on attacking Robert, and Stephen may have seen Robert, not the Empress, as his main opponent at this point in the conflict.<ref name=BradburyP78/> Stephen also faced a military dilemma at Arundel—the castle was considered almost impregnable, and he may have been worried that he was tying down his army in the south whilst Robert roamed freely in the west.<ref>Bradbury, p.79.</ref> Another theory is that Stephen released Matilda out of a sense of [[chivalry]]; Stephen was certainly known for having a generous, courteous personality and women were not normally expected to be targeted in Anglo-Norman warfare.<ref>Gillingham (1994), p.31.</ref>{{#tag:ref|"[[Chivalry]]" was firmly established as a principle in Anglo-Norman warfare by the time of Stephen; it was not considered appropriate or normal to execute elite prisoners and, as historian John Gillingham observes, neither Stephen nor the Empress Matilda did so except where the opponent had already breached the norms of military conduct.<ref>Gillingham (1994), pp.49–50.</ref>|group="nb"}}

Although there had been few new defections to the Empress, Matilda now controlled a compact block of territory stretching out from Gloucester and Bristol south-west into Devon and Cornwall, west into the Welsh Marches and east as far as Oxford and Wallingford, threatening London.<ref>Bradbury, p.81.</ref> She had established her court in Gloucester, close to Robert's stronghold of Bristol but far enough away for her to remain independent of her half-brother.<ref>Chibnall, p.83-84</ref> Stephen set about reclaiming the region.<ref>Bradbury, p.82; Davis, p.47.</ref> He started by attacking [[Wallingford Castle]] which controlled the Thames corridor; it was held by [[Brien FitzCount]] and Stephen found it too well defended.<ref>Bradbury, p.83.</ref> Stephen left behind some forces to blockade the castle and continued west into Wiltshire to attack [[Trowbridge#Castle|Trowbridge]], taking the castles of [[List of castles in Gloucestershire|South Cerney]] and [[Malmesbury]] en route.<ref>Bradbury, pp.82–83.</ref> Meanwhile, Miles of Gloucester marched east, attacking Stephen's rearguard forces at Wallingford and threatening an advance on London.<ref>Davis, p.42.</ref> Stephen was forced to give up his western campaign, returning east to stabilise the situation and protect his capital.<ref name=DavisP43>Davis, p.43.</ref>

At the start of 1140, [[Nigel (Bishop of Ely)|Nigel]], the Bishop of Ely, whose castles Stephen had confiscated the previous year, rebelled against Stephen as well.<ref name=DavisP43/> Nigel hoped to seize [[East Anglia]] and established his base of operations in the [[Isle of Ely]], then surrounded by protective [[The Fens|fenland]].<ref name=DavisP43/> Stephen responded quickly, taking an army into the fens and using boats lashed together to form a causeway that allowed him to make a surprise attack on the isle.<ref name=BradburyP88>Bradbury, p.88.</ref> Nigel escaped to Gloucester, but his men and castle were captured, and order was temporarily restored in the east.<ref name=BradburyP88/> Robert of Gloucester's men retook some of the territory that Stephen had taken in his 1139 campaign.<ref>Bradbury, p.90.</ref> In an effort to negotiate a truce, Henry of Blois held a peace conference at [[Bath, Somerset|Bath]], at which Robert represented the Empress, and Queen Matilda and Archbishop Theobald the King.<ref>Chibnall, p.92.</ref> The conference collapsed over the insistence by Henry and the clergy that they should set the terms of any peace deal, which Stephen found unacceptable.<ref>Bradbury, p.91.</ref>

[[Ranulf de Gernon, 4th Earl of Chester|Ranulf of Chester]] remained upset over Stephen's gift of the north of England to Prince Henry.<ref name=DavisP50>Davis, p.50.</ref> Ranulf devised a plan for dealing with the problem by ambushing Henry whilst the prince was travelling back from Stephen's court to Scotland after Christmas.<ref name=DavisP50/> Stephen responded to rumours of this plan by escorting Henry himself north, but this gesture proved the final straw for Ranulf.<ref name=DavisP50/> Ranulf had previously claimed that he had the rights to [[Lincoln Castle]], held by Stephen, and under the guise of a social visit, Ranulf seized the fortification in a surprise attack.<ref>Davis, pp.50–51.</ref> Stephen marched north to Lincoln and agreed to a truce with Ranulf, probably to keep him from joining the Empress's faction, under which Ranulf would be allowed to keep the castle.<ref name=DavisP51>Davis, p.51.</ref> Stephen returned to London but received news that Ranulf, his brother and their family were relaxing in Lincoln Castle with a minimal guard force, a ripe target for a surprise attack of his own.<ref name=DavisP51/> Abandoning the deal he had just made, Stephen gathered his army again and sped north, but not quite fast enough—Ranulf escaped Lincoln and declared his support for the Empress, and Stephen was forced to place the castle under siege.<ref name=DavisP51/>

===Second phase (1141–1142)===
====Battle of Lincoln====
[[File:Battle of Lincoln 1141.jpg|upright=1.15|thumb|The [[Battle of Lincoln (1141)|Battle of Lincoln]], 1141; A – Welsh forces; B – Robert of Gloucester; C – Alan; D – Stephen; E – William; F – Fosse Dyke; G – Lincoln Castle; H – Lincoln Cathedral; I – City of Lincoln; J – River Witham]]
While Stephen and his army besieged Lincoln Castle at the start of 1141, Robert of Gloucester and Ranulf of Chester advanced on the king's position with a somewhat larger force.<ref name=DavisP52>Davis, p.52.</ref> When the news reached Stephen, he held a council to decide whether to give battle or to withdraw and gather additional soldiers: Stephen decided to fight, resulting in the [[Battle of Lincoln (1141)|Battle of Lincoln]] on 2 February 1141.<ref name=DavisP52/> The king commanded the centre of his army, with [[Alan, 1st Earl of Richmond|Alan of Brittany]] on his right and [[William le Gros, 1st Earl of Albemarle|William of Aumale]] on his left.<ref name=BradburyP105>Bradbury, p.105.</ref> Robert and Ranulf's forces had superiority in cavalry and Stephen dismounted many of his own knights to form a solid infantry block; he joined them himself, fighting on foot in the battle.<ref name=BradburyP105/>{{#tag:ref|David Crouch argues that in fact it was the royalist weakness in infantry that caused their failure at Lincoln, proposing the city militia was not as capable as Robert's Welsh infantry.<ref>Crouch (2002), p.260.</ref>|group="nb"}} Stephen was not a gifted public speaker, and delegated the pre-battle speech to [[Baldwin of Clare]], who delivered a rousing declaration.<ref>Bradbury, p.104.</ref> After an initial success in which William's forces destroyed the Angevins' Welsh infantry, the battle went badly for Stephen.<ref name=BradburyP108>Bradbury, p.108.</ref> Robert and Ranulf's cavalry encircled Stephen's centre, and the king found himself surrounded by the enemy army.<ref name=BradburyP108/> Many of Stephen's supporters, including Waleron de Beaumont and William of Ypres, fled from the field at this point but Stephen fought on, defending himself first with his sword and then, when that broke, with a borrowed battle axe.<ref name=BradburyPP108>Bradbury, pp.108–109.</ref> Finally, he was overwhelmed by Robert's men and taken away from the field in custody.<ref name=BradburyPP108/>{{#tag:ref|The degree to which Stephen's supporters at the [[Battle of Lincoln (1141)|Battle of Lincoln]] simply fled, wisely retreated or in fact actively betrayed him to the enemy has been extensively debated.<ref>Bennett, p.105.</ref>|group="nb"}}

Robert took Stephen back to Gloucester, where the king met with the Empress Matilda, and was then moved to [[Bristol Castle]], traditionally used for holding high-status prisoners.<ref name=King2010P154>King (2010), p.154.</ref> He was initially left confined in relatively good conditions, but his security was later tightened and he was kept in chains.<ref name=King2010P154/> The Empress now began to take the necessary steps to have herself crowned queen in his place, which would require the agreement of the church and her coronation at [[Westminster Abbey]].<ref>King (2010), p.155.</ref> Stephen's brother Henry summoned a council at [[Winchester]] before Easter in his capacity as papal legate to consider the clergy's view. He had made a private deal with the Empress Matilda that he would deliver the support of the church, if she agreed to give him control over church business in England.<ref name=King2010P156>King (2010), p.156.</ref> Henry handed over the royal treasury, rather depleted except for Stephen's crown, to the Empress, and [[excommunicate]]d many of Stephen's supporters who refused to switch sides.<ref>King (2010), p.175; Davis, p.57.</ref> Archbishop Theobald of Canterbury was unwilling to declare Matilda queen so rapidly, and a delegation of clergy and nobles, headed by Theobald, travelled to see Stephen in Bristol and consult about their moral dilemma: if they should abandon their oaths of fealty to the king.<ref name=King2010P156/> Stephen agreed that, given the situation, he was prepared to release his subjects from their oath of fealty to him.<ref name="King 2010 p.158">King (2010), p.158; Carpenter, p.171.</ref>

The clergy gathered again in Winchester after Easter to declare the Empress "Lady of England and Normandy" as a precursor to her coronation.<ref name="King 2010 p.158"/> While Matilda's own followers attended the event, few other major nobles seem to have attended and a delegation from London prevaricated.<ref>Chibnall, pp.98–99.</ref> Queen Matilda wrote to complain and demand Stephen's release.<ref>Chibnall, p.98.</ref> The Empress Matilda then advanced to London to stage her coronation in June, where her position became precarious.<ref>Chibnall, p.102.</ref> Despite securing the support of [[Geoffrey de Mandeville, 1st Earl of Essex|Geoffrey de Mandeville]], who controlled the [[Tower of London]], forces loyal to Stephen and Queen Matilda remained close to the city and the citizens were fearful about welcoming the Empress.<ref>Chibnall, p.103.</ref> On 24 June, shortly before the planned coronation, the city rose up against the Empress and Geoffrey de Mandeville; Matilda and her followers only just fled in time, making a chaotic retreat to Oxford.<ref>King (2010), p.163; Chibnall, p.104-105.</ref>

Meanwhile, Geoffrey of Anjou invaded Normandy again and, in the absence of Waleran of Beaumont, who was still fighting in England, Geoffrey took all the duchy south of the [[River Seine]] and east of the [[Risle]].<ref>Carpenter, p.173; Davis, p.68; Crouch (2008b), p.47.</ref> No help was forthcoming from Stephen's brother Theobald this time either, who appears to have been preoccupied with his own problems with France—the new French king, [[Louis VII]], had rejected his father's regional alliance, improving relations with Anjou and taking a more bellicose line with Theobald, which would result in war the following year.<ref>Crouch (2008b), p.52.</ref> Geoffrey's success in Normandy and Stephen's weakness in England began to influence the loyalty of many Anglo-Norman barons, who feared losing their lands in England to Robert and the Empress, and their possessions in Normandy to Geoffrey.<ref>Davis, p.67.</ref> Many started to leave Stephen's faction. His friend and advisor Waleron was one of those who decided to defect in mid-1141, crossing into Normandy to secure his ancestral possessions by allying himself with the Angevins, and bringing Worcestershire into the Empress's camp.<ref>Davis, pp.67–68.</ref> Waleron's twin brother, Robert of Leicester, effectively withdrew from fighting in the conflict at the same time. Other supporters of the Empress were restored in their former strongholds, such as Bishop Nigel of Ely, and others still received new earldoms in the west of England. The royal control over the [[Mint (coin)|minting]] of coins broke down, leading to coins being struck by local barons and bishops across the country.<ref>Blackburn, p.199.</ref>

Stephen's wife Matilda played a critical part in keeping the king's cause alive during his captivity. Queen Matilda gathered Stephen's remaining lieutenants around her and the royal family in the south-east, advancing into London when the population rejected the Empress.<ref name="Crouch 2002, p.261">Crouch (2002), p.261.</ref> Stephen's long-standing commander William of Ypres remained with the queen in London; William Martel, the royal steward, commanded operations from [[Sherborne]] in Dorset, and Faramus of Boulogne ran the royal household.<ref>Bennett, p.106; Crouch (2002), p.261.</ref> The queen appears to have generated genuine sympathy and support from Stephen's more loyal followers.<ref name="Crouch 2002, p.261"/> Henry's alliance with the Empress proved short-lived, as they soon fell out over political patronage and ecclesiastical policy; the bishop met Stephen's wife Queen Matilda at [[Guildford]] and transferred his support to her.<ref name=BarlowP176>Barlow, p.176.</ref>

The Empress's position was transformed by her defeat at the [[rout of Winchester]]. Following their retreat from London, Robert of Gloucester and the Empress besieged Henry in his episcopal castle at Winchester in July.<ref>Bradbury, p.121.</ref> Matilda was using the royal castle in the city of Winchester as a base for her operations, but shortly afterwards Queen Matilda and William of Ypres then encircled the Angevin forces with their own army, reinforced with fresh troops from London.<ref>Barlow, p.176; Chibnall, p.113.</ref> The Empress Matilda decided to escape from the city with her close associates Fitz Count and Reginald of Cornwall, while the rest of her army delayed the royal forces.<ref>Chibnall, p.113.</ref> In the subsequent battle the Empress's forces were defeated and Robert of Gloucester himself was taken prisoner during the retreat, although Matilda herself escaped, exhausted, to her fortress at Devizes.<ref>Barlow, p.177; Chibnall, p.114.</ref>

With both Stephen and Robert held prisoner, negotiations were held to try to agree a long term peace settlement, but Queen Matilda was unwilling to offer any compromise to the Empress, and Robert refused to accept any offer to encourage him to change sides to Stephen.<ref name=BarlowP177>Barlow, p.177.</ref> Instead, in November the two sides simply exchanged the two leaders, Stephen returning to his queen, and Robert to the Empress in Oxford.<ref>Barlow, p.177; Chibnall, p.115.</ref> Henry held another church council, which reversed its previous decision and reaffirmed Stephen's legitimacy to rule, and a fresh coronation of Stephen and Matilda occurred at Christmas 1141.<ref name=BarlowP177/> At the beginning of 1142 Stephen fell ill, and by Easter rumours had begun to circulate that he had died.<ref>Bradbury, pp.134, 136.</ref> Possibly this illness was the result of his imprisonment the previous year, but he finally recovered and travelled north to raise new forces and to successfully convince [[Ranulf de Gernon, 4th Earl of Chester|Ranulf of Chester]] to change sides once again.<ref name="Barlow, p.178">Barlow, p.178.</ref> Stephen then spent the summer attacking some of the new Angevin castles built the previous year, including [[Cirencester Castle|Cirencester]], [[Bampton Castle, Oxfordshire|Bampton]] and [[Wareham, Dorset|Wareham]].<ref name=BradburyP136>Bradbury, p.136.</ref>

During mid-1142 Robert returned to Normandy to assist Geoffrey with operations against some of Stephen's remaining followers there; he returned to England later in the year.<ref>Chibnall, pp.116–117.</ref> Meanwhile, Matilda came under increased pressure from Stephen's forces and had become surrounded at [[Oxford]].<ref name=BradburyP136/> Oxford was a secure town, protected by walls and the [[River Isis]], but Stephen led a sudden attack across the river, leading the charge and swimming part of the way.<ref name=BradburyP137>Bradbury, p.137.</ref> Once on the other side, the king and his men broke into the town, trapping the Empress in the castle.<ref name=BradburyP137/> [[Oxford Castle]] was a powerful fortress and, rather than storming it, Stephen had to settle down for a long siege, secure in the knowledge that Matilda was now surrounded.<ref name=BradburyP137/> Just before Christmas, the Empress sneaked out of the castle, crossed the icy river on foot and made her escape past the royal army to safety at Wallingford, leaving the castle garrison free to surrender the next day. Matilda stayed with Fitz Count for a period, then reestablished her court at Devizes.<ref>Chibnall, p.117.</ref>

===Stalemate (1143–1146)===
[[File:Invasion of Normandy 1142-3.png|thumb|alt=A map of Normandy in 1142|[[Geoffrey of Anjou]]'s invasion of Normandy, 1142–1143]]
The war between the two sides in England reached a stalemate in the mid-1140s, while Geoffrey of Anjou consolidated his hold on power in Normandy, being recognised as duke of Normandy after taking Rouen in 1144.<ref>Davis, p.78.</ref> 1143 started precariously for Stephen when he was besieged by Robert of Gloucester at [[Wilton Castle]], an assembly point for royal forces in [[Herefordshire]].<ref name=BradburyP139>Bradbury, p.139.</ref> Stephen attempted to break out and escape, resulting in the [[Battle of Wilton]]. Once again, the Angevin cavalry proved too strong, and for a moment it appeared that Stephen might be captured for a second time.<ref>Bradbury, p.140.</ref> On this occasion [[William Martel]], Stephen's steward, made a fierce rear guard effort, allowing Stephen to escape from the battlefield.<ref name=BradburyP139/> Stephen valued William's loyalty sufficiently to agree to exchange [[Sherborne Castle]] for his safe release—this was one of the few instances where Stephen was prepared to give up a castle to ransom one of his men.<ref>Bradbury, pp.140–141.</ref>

In late 1143, Stephen faced a new threat in the east, when [[Geoffrey de Mandeville, 1st Earl of Essex|Geoffrey de Mandeville]], the [[Earl of Essex]], rose up in rebellion against the king in East Anglia.<ref>Bradbury, p.141.</ref> Stephen had disliked the baron for several years, and provoked the conflict by summoning Geoffrey to court, where the king arrested him.<ref name=BradburyP143/> Stephen threatened to execute Geoffrey unless the baron handed over his various castles, including the [[Tower of London]], [[Saffron Walden Castle|Saffron Walden]] and [[Pleshey Castle|Pleshey]], all important fortifications because they were in, or close to, London.<ref name=BradburyP143>Bradbury, p.143.</ref> Geoffrey gave in, but once free he headed north-east into the Fens to the [[Isle of Ely]], from where he began a military campaign against [[Cambridge]], with the intention of progressing south towards London.<ref>Bradbury, p.144.</ref> With all of his other problems and with [[Hugh Bigod, 1st Earl of Norfolk|Hugh Bigod]] still in open revolt in [[Norfolk]], Stephen lacked the resources to track Geoffrey down in the Fens and made do with building a screen of castles between Ely and London, including [[Burwell Castle]].<ref>Bradbury, p.145.</ref>

For a period, the situation continued to worsen. Ranulf of Chester revolted once again in the middle of 1144, splitting up Stephen's [[Honour of Lancaster]] between himself and Prince Henry.<ref name=BarlowP179>Barlow, p.179.</ref> In the west, Robert of Gloucester and his followers continued to raid the surrounding royalist territories, and Wallingford Castle remained a secure Angevin stronghold, too close to London for comfort.<ref name=BarlowP179/> Meanwhile, Geoffrey of Anjou finished securing his hold on southern Normandy and in January 1144 he advanced into [[Rouen]], the capital of the duchy, concluding his campaign.<ref name="Barlow, p.178"/> Louis VII recognised him as Duke of Normandy shortly after.<ref>Amt, p.7.</ref> By this point in the war, Stephen was depending increasingly on his immediate royal household, such as William of Ypres and others, and lacked the support of the major barons who might have been able to provide him with significant additional forces; after the events of 1141, Stephen made little use of his network of earls.<ref>Crouch (2002), p.269; White (1998), p.133.</ref>

After 1143 the war ground on, but progressing slightly better for Stephen.<ref>Bradbury, p.158.</ref> [[Miles of Gloucester]], one of the most talented Angevin commanders, had died whilst hunting over the previous Christmas, relieving some of the pressure in the west.<ref>Bradbury, p.147.</ref> Geoffrey de Mandeville's rebellion continued until September 1144, when he died during an attack on Burwell.<ref name=BradburyP146>Bradbury, p.146.</ref> The war in the west progressed better in 1145, with the king recapturing [[Faringdon Castle]] in [[Oxfordshire]].<ref name=BradburyP146/> In the north, Stephen came to a fresh agreement with Ranulf of Chester, but then in 1146 repeated the ruse he had played on Geoffrey de Mandeville in 1143, first inviting Ranulf to court, then arresting him and threatening to execute him unless he handed over several castles, including [[Lincoln Castle|Lincoln]] and [[Coventry Castle|Coventry]].<ref name=BarlowP179/> As with Geoffrey, the moment Ranulf was released he immediately rebelled, but the situation was a stalemate: Stephen had few forces in the north with which to prosecute a fresh campaign, whilst Ranulf lacked the castles to support an attack on Stephen.<ref name=BarlowP179/> By this point, Stephen's practice of inviting barons to court and arresting them had brought him into some disrepute and increasing distrust.<ref>Davis, p.97.</ref>

===Final phases (1147–1152)===
[[File:Jindra Eleonora.jpg|thumb|upright=0.75|alt=A medieval picture of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine|14th-century depiction of [[Henry II of England]] and his wife [[Eleanor of Aquitaine]]]]

The character of the conflict in England gradually began to shift; as historian Frank Barlow suggests, by the late 1140s "the civil war was over", barring the occasional outbreak of fighting.<ref name=BarlowP180>Barlow, p.180.</ref> In 1147 Robert of Gloucester died peacefully, and the next year the Empress Matilda defused an argument with the Church over the ownership of Devizes Castle by returning to Normandy, contributing to reducing the tempo of the war.<ref>Barlow, p.180; Chibnall, pp.148–149.</ref> The [[Second Crusade]] was announced, and many Angevin supporters, including Waleran of Beaumont, joined it, leaving the region for several years.<ref name=BarlowP180/> Many of the barons were making individual peace agreements with each other to secure their lands and war gains.<ref>Davis, pp.111–112.</ref> Geoffrey and Matilda's son, the future King Henry II, mounted a small mercenary invasion of England in 1147 but the expedition failed, not least because Henry lacked the funds to pay his men.<ref name=BarlowP180/> Stephen himself ended up paying their costs, allowing Henry to return home safely; his reasons for doing so are unclear. One potential explanation is his general courtesy to a member of his extended family; another is that he was starting to consider how to end the war peacefully, and saw this as a way of building a relationship with Henry.<ref>King (2010), p.243; Barlow, p.180.</ref>

Many of the most powerful nobles began to make their own truces and disarmament agreements, signing treaties between one another that typically promised an end to bilateral hostilities, limited the building of new castles, or agreed limits to the size of armies sent against one another.<ref>Davis, pp.111–113.</ref> Typically these treaties included clauses that recognised that the nobles might, of course, be forced to fight each other by instruction of their rulers.<ref>Davis, p.112.</ref> A network of treaties had emerged by the 1150s, reducing – but not eliminating – the degree of local fighting in England.<ref>Davis, p.113.</ref>

Matilda remained in Normandy for the rest of the war, focusing on stabilising the duchy and promoting her son's rights to the English throne.<ref>Chibnall, pp.141, 151–152.</ref> The young Henry FitzEmpress returned to England again in 1149, this time planning to form a northern alliance with Ranulf of Chester.<ref>King (2010), p.253.</ref> The Angevin plan involved Ranulf agreeing to give up his claim to [[Carlisle]], held by the Scots, in return for being given the rights to the whole of the Honour of Lancaster; Ranulf would give homage to both David and Henry FitzEmpress, with Henry having seniority.<ref>King (2010), p.254.</ref> Following this peace agreement, Henry and Ranulf agreed to attack [[York]], probably with help from the Scots.<ref>King (2010), p.255.</ref> Stephen marched rapidly north to York and the planned attack disintegrated, leaving Henry to return to Normandy, where he was declared Duke by his father.<ref name=DavidKingP255>Davis, p.107; King (2010), p.255.</ref>{{#tag:ref|Edmund King believes the attack never got close to York; R. Davis believes that it did and was deterred by the presence of Stephen's forces.<ref name=DavidKingP255/>|group="nb"}} Although still young, Henry was increasingly gaining a reputation as an energetic and capable leader. His prestige and power increased further when he unexpectedly married [[Eleanor of Aquitaine]] in 1152; Eleanor was the attractive [[Duchess of Aquitaine]] and the recently divorced wife of [[Louis VII of France]], and the marriage made Henry the future ruler of a huge swathe of territory across France.<ref>Carpenter, p.188.</ref>

In the final years of the war, Stephen too began to focus on the issue of his family and the succession.<ref>King (2010), p.237.</ref> Stephen had given his eldest son [[Eustace IV, Count of Boulogne|Eustace]] the County of Boulogne in 1147, but it remained unclear whether Eustace would inherit England.<ref name=DavisP105>Davis, p.105.</ref> Stephen's preferred option was to have Eustace crowned while he himself was still alive, as was the custom in France, but this was not the normal practice in England, and [[Celestine II]], during his brief tenure as pope between 1143 and 1144, had banned any change to this practice.<ref name=DavisP105/> The only person who could crown Eustace was Archbishop Theobald, who may well have seen the coronation of Eustace only as a guarantee of further civil war after Stephen's death; the Archbishop refused to crown Eustace without agreement from the current pope, Eugene III, and the matter reached an impasse.<ref>Davis,. p.105; Stringer, p.68.</ref> Stephen's situation was made worse by various arguments with members of the Church over rights and privileges.<ref>Davis, pp.100–102.</ref> Stephen made a fresh attempt to have Eustace crowned at Easter 1152, gathering his nobles to swear fealty to Eustace, and then insisting that Theobald and his bishops anoint him king.<ref name=King2010P264>King (2010), p.264.</ref> When Theobald refused yet again, Stephen and Eustace imprisoned both him and the bishops and refused to release them unless they agreed to crown Eustace.<ref name=King2010P264/> Theobald escaped again into temporary exile in [[Flanders]], pursued to the coast by Stephen's knights, marking a low point in Stephen's relationship with the church.<ref name=King2010P264/>

==End of the war==
===Peace negotiations (1153–1154)===
[[File:Political map of England 1153.svg|thumb|alt=A colour coded map showing the political factions in 1153|A political map of England, Wales and southern Scotland in 1153; {{legend|#347fb9|Under Henry's control}} {{legend|#e51316|Stephen}} {{legend|#bfbfbf|Indigenous Welsh}} {{legend|#ffefac|Ranulf of Chester and Robert of Leicester}} {{legend|#4cb149|David I of Scotland}}]]
Henry FitzEmpress returned to England again at the start of 1153 with a small army, supported in the north and east of England by Ranulf of Chester and Hugh Bigod.<ref>Bradbury, pp.178–179.</ref> Stephen's castle at [[Malmesbury Castle|Malmesbury]] was besieged by Henry's forces and the king responded by marching west with an army to relieve it.<ref name=BradburyP180>Bradbury, p.180.</ref> Stephen unsuccessfully attempted to force Henry's smaller army to fight a decisive battle along the [[River Avon (Bristol)|River Avon]].<ref name=BradburyP180/> In the face of the increasingly wintry weather, Stephen agreed to a temporary truce and returned to London, leaving Henry to travel north through [[the Midlands]] where the powerful [[Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester|Robert de Beaumont]], Earl of Leicester, announced his support for the Angevin cause.<ref name=BradburyP180/> Despite only modest military successes, Henry and his allies now controlled the south-west, the Midlands and much of the north of England.<ref>Bradbury, p.181.</ref> A delegation of senior English clergy met with Henry and his advisers at [[Stockbridge, Hampshire|Stockbridge]] shortly before [[Easter]].<ref>King (2007), pp.25–26.</ref> Many of the details of their discussions are unclear, but it appears that the churchmen emphasised that while they supported Stephen as king, they sought a negotiated peace; Henry reaffirmed that he would avoid the English [[cathedral]]s and would not expect the bishops to attend his court.<ref>King (2007), p.26.</ref>

Stephen intensified the long-running siege of [[Wallingford Castle]] in a final attempt to take this major Angevin stronghold.<ref>Bradbury, p.182.</ref> The fall of Wallingford appeared imminent and Henry marched south in an attempt to relieve the siege, arriving with a small army and placing Stephen's besieging forces under siege themselves.<ref name=BradburyP183>Bradbury, p.183.</ref> Upon news of this, Stephen gathered up a large force and marched from Oxford, and the two sides confronted each other across the River Thames at Wallingford in July.<ref name=BradburyP183/> By this point in the war, the barons on both sides seem to have been eager to avoid an open battle.<ref name=BradburyKingCrouchP276>Bradbury, p.183; King (2010), p.277; Crouch (2002), p.276.</ref> As a result, instead of a battle ensuing, members of the church [[Treaty of Wallingford|brokered a truce]], to the annoyance of both Stephen and Henry.<ref name=BradburyKingCrouchP276/>

In the aftermath of Wallingford, Stephen and Henry spoke together privately about a potential end to the war; Stephen's son Eustace was furious about the peaceful outcome at Wallingford. He left his father and returned home to Cambridge to gather more funds for a fresh campaign, where he fell ill and died the next month.<ref>King (2010), pp.278–279; Crouch (2002), p.276.</ref> Eustace's death removed an obvious claimant to the throne and was politically convenient for those seeking a permanent peace in England. It is possible that Stephen had already begun to consider passing over Eustace's claim; historian Edmund King observes that Eustace's claim to the throne was not mentioned in the discussions at Wallingford, for example, and this may have added to Stephen's son's anger.<ref>King (2010), p.278.</ref>

Fighting continued after Wallingford, but in a rather half-hearted fashion. Stephen lost the towns of [[Oxford]] and [[Stamford, Lincolnshire|Stamford]] to Henry while the king was diverted fighting Hugh Bigod in the east of England, but [[Nottingham Castle]] survived an Angevin attempt to capture it.<ref>Bradbury, p.184.</ref> Meanwhile, Stephen's brother Henry of Blois and Archbishop Theobald of Canterbury were for once unified in an effort to broker a permanent peace between the two sides, putting pressure on Stephen to accept a deal.<ref>King (2010), pp.279–280; Bradbury, p.187.</ref> Stephen and Henry FitzEmpress's armies met again at Winchester, where the two leaders would ratify the terms of a permanent peace in November.<ref>King (2010), p.280.</ref> Stephen announced the [[Treaty of Winchester]] in Winchester Cathedral: he recognised Henry FitzEmpress as his adopted son and successor, in return for Henry doing [[Homage (feudal)|homage]] to him; Stephen promised to listen to Henry's advice, but retained all his royal powers; Stephen's remaining son, [[William I, Count of Boulogne|William]], would do homage to Henry and renounce his claim to the throne, in exchange for promises of the security of his lands; key royal castles would be held on Henry's behalf by guarantors whilst Stephen would have access to Henry's castles; and the numerous foreign mercenaries would be demobilised and sent home.<ref>King (2010), pp.280–283; Bradbury pp.189–190; Barlow, pp.187–188.</ref> Stephen and Henry sealed the treaty with a [[kiss of peace]] in the cathedral.<ref>King (2010), p.281.</ref>

===Transition and reconstruction (1154–1165)===
[[File:Henry2 paris.jpg|thumb|Archbishop of Canterbury [[Theobald of Bec]] crowning [[Henry II of England|Henry II]] in 1154]]
Stephen's decision to recognise Henry as his heir was, at the time, not necessarily a final solution to the civil war.<ref name=BradburyHoltP306>Bradbury, p.211; Holt, p.306.</ref> Despite the issuing of new currency and administrative reforms, Stephen might potentially have lived for many more years, whilst Henry's position on the continent was far from secure.<ref name=BradburyHoltP306/> Although Stephen's son William was young and unprepared to challenge Henry for the throne in 1153, the situation could well have shifted in subsequent years—there were widespread rumours during 1154 that William planned to assassinate Henry, for example.<ref name="Crouch 2002, p.277">Crouch (2002), p.277.</ref> Historian Graham White describes the treaty of Winchester as a "precarious peace", capturing the judgement of most modern historians that the situation in late 1153 was still uncertain and unpredictable.<ref>White (1990), p.12, cited Bradbury, p.211.</ref> Nonetheless, Stephen burst into activity in early 1154, travelling around the kingdom extensively.<ref>Amt, p.19.</ref> He began issuing royal [[writ]]s for the south-west of England once again and travelled to [[York]] where he held a major court in an attempt to impress upon the northern barons that royal authority was being reasserted.<ref name="Crouch 2002, p.277"/> In 1154, Stephen travelled to [[Dover]] to meet the [[Thierry, Count of Flanders|Count of Flanders]]; some historians believe that the king was already ill and preparing to settle his family affairs.<ref name=King2010P300>King (2010), p.300.</ref> Stephen fell ill with a [[stomach disorder]] and died on 25 October.<ref name=King2010P300/>

Henry did not feel it necessary to hurry back to England immediately. On landing on 8 December 1154, Henry quickly took oaths of loyalty from some of the barons and was then crowned alongside Eleanor at [[Westminster Abbey|Westminster]].<ref name=White2000P5>White (2000), p.5.</ref> The royal court was gathered in April 1155, where the barons swore fealty to the king and his sons.<ref name=White2000P5/> Henry presented himself as the legitimate heir to Henry I and commenced rebuilding the kingdom in his image.<ref>White (2000), p.2.</ref> Although Stephen had tried to continue Henry I's method of government during the war, the new government characterised the 19 years of Stephen's reign as a chaotic and troubled period, with all these problems resulting from Stephen's usurpation of the throne.<ref>White (2000), pp.2–3.</ref> Henry was also careful to show that, unlike his mother the Empress, he would listen to the advice and counsel of others.<ref>King (2007), pp.42–43.</ref> Various measures were immediately carried out, although, since Henry spent six and a half of the first eight years of his reign in France, much work had to be done at a distance.<ref>White (2000), p.8.</ref>

England had suffered extensively during the war. The ''[[Anglo-Saxon Chronicle]]'' recorded how "there was nothing but disturbance and wickedness and robbery".<ref>Huscroft, p.76.</ref> Certainly in many parts of the country, such as the South-West, the [[Thames Valley]] and [[East Anglia]], the fighting and raiding had caused serious devastation.<ref name=BarlowP181>Barlow, p.181.</ref> The previously centralised royal coinage system was fragmented, with Stephen, the Empress and local lords all minting their own coins.<ref name=BarlowP181/> The royal [[Royal forest#Forest law|forest law]] had collapsed in large parts of the country.<ref>Carpenter, p.197.</ref> Some parts of the country, though, were barely touched by the conflict—for example, Stephen's lands in the south-east and the Angevin heartlands around Gloucester and Bristol were largely unaffected, and David I ruled his territories in the north of England effectively.<ref name=BarlowP181/> The king's overall income from his estates declined seriously during the conflict, particularly after 1141, and royal control over the [[Mint (coin)|minting]] of new coins remained limited outside of the south-east and East Anglia.<ref>White (1998), p.43; Blackburn, p.199.</ref> With Stephen often based in the south-east, increasingly [[Westminster]], rather than the older site of [[Winchester]], was used as the centre of royal government.<ref>Green, pp.110–111, cited White (2008), p.132.</ref>

Among Henry's first measures was to expel the remaining foreign mercenaries and continue the process of demolishing the unauthorised castles.<ref name=AmtP44>Amt, p.44.</ref>{{#tag:ref|Recent research has shown that Stephen had begun the programme of castle destruction before his death and that Henry's contribution was less substantial than once thought, although Henry did take much of the credit for this programme of work.<ref name=AmtP44/>|group="nb"}} Robert of Torigni recorded that 375 were destroyed, without giving the details behind the figure; recent studies of selected regions have suggested that fewer castles were probably destroyed than once thought and that many may simply have been abandoned at the end of the conflict.<ref name=AmtP44/> Henry also gave a high priority to restoring the royal finances, reviving Henry I's financial processes and attempting to improve the standard of the accounts.<ref>White (2000), pp.130, 159.</ref> By the 1160s, this process of financial recovery was essentially complete.<ref>Barratt, p.249.</ref>

The post-war period also saw a surge of activity around the English borders. The king of Scotland and local Welsh rulers had taken advantage of the long civil war in England to seize disputed lands; Henry set about reversing this trend.<ref>Warren (2000), p.161.</ref> In 1157 pressure from Henry resulted in the young [[Malcolm IV of Scotland]] returning the lands in the north of England he had taken during the war; Henry promptly began to refortify the northern frontier.<ref>White (2000), p.7; Carpenter, p.211.</ref> Restoring Anglo-Norman supremacy in Wales proved harder, and Henry had to fight two campaigns in [[North Wales|north]] and [[south Wales]] in 1157 and 1158 before the Welsh princes [[Owain Gwynedd]] and [[Rhys ap Gruffydd]] submitted to his rule, agreeing to the pre-civil war division of lands.<ref>White (2000), p.7; Huscroft, p.140; Carpenter, p.214.</ref>

===Historiography===
[[File:Peterborough.Chronicle.firstpagetrimmed.jpg|thumb|upright|alt=A photograph of the first page of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle|The first page of the Peterborough element of the ''[[Anglo-Saxon Chronicle]]'', written around 1150, which details the events of the civil war]]

Much of the modern history of the civil war of the Anarchy is based on accounts of [[chronicler]]s who lived in, or close to, the middle of the 12th century, forming a relatively rich account of the period.<ref>King (2006), p.195.</ref> All of the main chronicler accounts carry significant regional biases in how they portray the disparate events. Several of the key chronicles were written in the south-west of England, including the ''[[Gesta Stephani]]'', or "Acts of Stephen", and [[William of Malmesbury]]'s ''[[Historia Novella]]'', or "New History".<ref name=DavisP146>Davis, p.146.</ref> In Normandy, [[Orderic Vitalis]] wrote his ''[[Orderic Vitalis#The Historia Ecclesiastica|Ecclesiastical History]]'', covering the period until 1141, and [[Robert of Torigni]] wrote a later history of the rest of the later years.<ref name=DavisP146/> [[Henry of Huntingdon]], who lived in the east of England, produced the ''[[Henry of Huntingdon#Historia|Historia Anglorum]]'' that provides a regional account of the conflict.<ref>Davis, pp.147, 150.</ref> The ''[[Anglo-Saxon Chronicle]]'' was past its prime by the time of the war, but the version maintained at Peterborough Abbey (today known as the ''[[Peterborough Chronicle]]'') is remembered for its striking account of conditions during the Anarchy, in particular its description that "men said openly that Christ and his saints were asleep".<ref>Davis, p.151; Bradbury, p.215.</ref> Most of the chronicles carry some bias for or against the key political figures in the conflict.<ref>Davis, pp.146–152.</ref>

The use of the term "the Anarchy" to describe the civil war has been subject to much critical discussion. The phrase itself originates in the late Victorian period. Many historians of the time traced a progressive and [[universalist]] course of political and economic development in England over the medieval period.<ref name=DyerP4CossP81>Dyer, p.4; Coss, p.81.</ref> [[William Stubbs]], following in this "[[Whiggish]]" tradition, analysed the political aspects of the period in his 1874 volume the ''[[Constitutional History of England]]''. This work highlighted an apparent break in the development of the English constitution in the 1140s, and caused his student [[John Horace Round|John Round]] to coin the term "the Anarchy" to describe the period.<ref>''[http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews/review/1038 Review of King Stephen, (review no. 1038)]'', David Crouch, ''Reviews in History'', accessed 12 May 2011; Kadish, p.40; Round (1888), cited ''[http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews/review/1038 Review of King Stephen, (review no. 1038)]'', David Crouch, ''Reviews in History'', accessed 12 May 2011.</ref> Later historians critiqued the term, as analysis of the financial records and other documents from the period suggested that the breakdown in law and order during the conflict had been more nuanced and localised than chronicler accounts alone might have suggested.<ref>White (2000), pp.14–15; Hollister, pp.51–54.</ref> Further work in the 1990s reinterpreted Henry's efforts in the post-war reconstruction period, suggesting a greater level of continuity with Stephen's wartime government than had previously been supposed.<ref>White (2000), pp.75–76.</ref> The label of "the Anarchy" remains in use by modern historians, but rarely without qualification.<ref>White (2000), p.12; Carpenter, p.176; King (1994), p.1.</ref>

===Popular representations===
{{Main|Cultural depictions of the Anarchy}}
The civil war years of the Anarchy have been occasionally used in historical fiction. Stephen, Matilda and their supporters feature in [[Ellis Peters]]' historical detective series about [[Brother Cadfael]], set between 1137 and 1145.<ref name=RiellyP62>Rielly, p.62.</ref> Peters' depiction of the civil war is an essentially local narrative, focused on [[Shrewsbury]] and its environs.<ref name=RiellyP62/> Peters paints Stephen as a tolerant man and a reasonable ruler, despite his execution of the Shrewsbury defenders after taking the town in 1138.<ref>Rielly, p.68.</ref> In contrast, [[Ken Follett]]'s historical novel ''[[The Pillars of the Earth]]'' and the [[The Pillars of the Earth (TV miniseries)|TV mini-series]] based on it depict Stephen as an incapable ruler. Although Follett begins his book with [[Austin Poole]]'s account of the ''White Ship'''s sinking to set the historical scene for the subsequent events, in many other ways Follett uses the war as a location for a story about essentially modern personalities and issues, a feature reproduced in the epic costume TV adaptation.<ref>Turner, p.122; Ramet, p.108; ''[http://tv.nytimes.com/2010/07/23/arts/television/23pillars.html Blood on Their Hands, and Sex on Their Minds]'', Mike Hale, ''The New York Times'', published 22 July 2010, accessed 15 May 2011.</ref>

Hague Secret Emissary Affair

The '''Hague Secret Emissary Affair''' ({{Korean|hangul=헤이그 특사사건|rr=}}) resulted from Emperor [[Gojong of Korea|Gojong]] of the [[Korean Empire]] sending confidential emissaries to the [[Hague Conventions (1899 and 1907)#Hague Convention of 1907|Second Peace Conference]] at [[The Hague]], the Netherlands, in 1907.<ref>[[Carter J. Eckert]], [[Ki-baik Lee]], Young Ick Lew, Michael Robinson, and Edward W. Wagner, ''Korea Old and New: A History'' (Seoul: Ilchokak / Korea Institute, Harvard University, 1990), 245.</ref>

==Background==
Throughout much of the late 19th Century, Korea had been caught in the crossfire of several conflicts between the more powerful nations of Japan, Russia, and China. Following the [[Empire of Japan]]'s victory over [[Russian Empire|Russia]] in the 1904–1905 [[Russo-Japanese War]], Japan sought to formalize its control over the [[Korean Peninsula]]. It assumed hegemony over the Empire of Korea with the [[Japan–Korea Treaty of 1905|Eulsa Treaty]] of 1905.<ref>Korean Mission to the Conference on the Limitation of Armament, Washington, D.C., 1921-1922. (1922). {{Google books|9OdAAAAAYAAJ|''Korea's Appeal,'' pp. 3-44.|page=3}}</ref>
Korea claimed that the Eulsa treaty was illegal because it was signed under the threat of Japanese force without the approval of [[Emperor Gojong]]. The treaty took away Korea’s diplomatic rights and prevented the path to Korean autonomy that had been promised.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Murase |first1=Shinya |title=일본인 학자가 본 1907년 헤이그 밀사 사건 헤이그의 굴욕 경험한 이위종, 赤軍에 가담하다 |url=http://monthly.chosun.com/client/news/viw.asp?nNewsNumb=200707100027&form=MY01SV&OCID=MY01SV |website=Chosun Monthly Newsroom |publisher=Chosun Monthly |access-date=4 May 2024}}</ref>

In 1905, a Korean party of [[Syngman Rhee]] and [[Pyeng Yoon]] traveled to the [[Portsmouth Conference]] in an attempt to invoke the good offices of the United States that were promised to them through the [[Joseon-United States Treaty of 1882]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Korean Envoy to the Peace Conference |url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85047084/1905-07-17/ed-1/seq-1/ |access-date=3 May 2024 |work=Pacific Commercial Advertiser |publisher=The Pacific Commercial Advertiser |date=17 July 1905}}</ref> Article 1 of the treaty provides:
<blockquote>There shall be perpetual peace and friendship between the President of the United States and the King of Joseon and the citizens and subjects of their respective Governments. If other powers deal unjustly or oppressively with either Government, the other will exert their good offices on being informed of the case to bring about an amicable arrangement, thus showing their friendly feelings.<ref name="koreanmission29">Korean Mission, {{Google books|9OdAAAAAYAAJ|p. 29.|page=29}}; excerpt, "Treaty and Diplomatic Relations Between the United States and Korea. Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation dated May 22, 1882."</ref>
</blockquote>
The party met with President Theodore Roosevelt, presenting a memorial that documented Japan’s mistreatment of Korea. However, this meeting did not result in any meaningful action because it was claimed that Yoon and Rhee did not have any official diplomatic standing.

==Event==
=== The Delegation ===
Emperor Gojong sent three secret emissaries, [[Yi Tjoune]] ({{lang|ko|이준, 李儁}}), [[Yi Sang-seol]] ({{lang|ko|이상설, 李相卨}}) and [[Yi Wi-jong]] ({{lang|ko|이위종, 李瑋鐘}}) to the Second Hague Peace Convention to declare the invalidity of Japanese diplomatic maneuvers, including the [[Japan–Korea Treaty of 1905]] (Eulsa Treaty). The three representatives were handpicked for their different backgrounds and skills; Yi Tjoune was a judge, Yi Sang-seol was a former Korean government official, and Yi Wi-jong was a diplomat who had been educated in France and was fluent in seven languages, including French. [[File:Homer Bezaleel Hulbert.jpg|thumb|American diplomat Homer Hulbert was sent by Gojong to aid the Korean delegation at the Hague]]
American [[Homer Hulbert]] accompanied the emissaries, meeting with French and Russian consuls before the Korean delegation arrived at the conference to mediate.

=== Reception ===
Gojong's representatives asserted the monarch's rights to rule Korea independent of Japan. However, the nations at The Hague did not allow the emissaries to take part in the conference and blocked this diplomatic mission.<ref>Eckert, Carter J. ''et al.'' (1990). ''Korea Old and New: A History,'' p. 245.</ref>

Because of Russia's opposition to Japan, [[Nicholas II of Russia]] tried to help the three Korean emissaries to enter the convention hall, though these efforts were ultimately blocked by Japan.<ref>{{Cite web |last=이 |first=해준 |date=2020-02-28 |title=아관파천과 고종의 항일 독립운동…주한 러시아 대사가 말한다 |url=http://biz.heraldcorp.com/view.php?ud=20200228000812 |access-date=2022-04-28 |website=헤럴드경제 |language=ko}}</ref> Russian foreign minister [[Izvolsky]] rejected the request, as he had been a key figure involved in a push for Russian reconciliation with Japan. Izvolsky conveyed the message that the Russian provincial government had “strict orders not to deal with [the Koreans] at all”, and Russia had no intention of recognizing Korea’s representative status at the Hague Conference. Emperor Gojong's emissaries were unable to gain entry into the convention hall. Korea was no longer viewed as an independent nation by the nations, as Japan had assumed responsibility for its international representation.

=== The Cercle Internationale and Le Courrier de la Conference ===
After being turned away from the official Peace Conference, the Korean delegation remained in The Hague and connected with a community of international peace activists. They encountered a group called the [[Cercle Internationale]] (the International Circle), led by activist [[Bertha von Suttner]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Stead |first1=W.T. |title=First Impressions of the Second Hague Conference |journal=The Review of Reviews |date=June 1907 |volume=36 |pages=29-35 |url=https://archive.org/details/TheReviewOfReviewsV36/page/35/mode/2up |access-date=4 May 2024}}</ref> [[W.T. Stead]] reported on the nature of the forums and discussions hosted by the group:
<blockquote>“Baroness von Suttner twice a week holds receptions there, and twice a week meetings are held in the evening for the discussion of subjects relating to the Conference. These gatherings have been very well attended, not by delegates so much as by visitors who come to the Hague, and by the leading pacifists.”</blockquote>

Additionally, members of the Cercle Internationale were involved in the publishing of a newspaper, [[Le Courrier de la Conference]], that reported on the events surrounding the Hague Conference. The newspaper published several stories about the Korean delegation and their attempt to gain access into the conference.

On July 8th, Yi Wi-jong delivered a speech before the International Circle, highlighting the plight of Korea and the cruelties the nation was subject to under Japanese occupation. This speech and the subsequent press it received in Le Courrier de la Conference were instrumental in raising awareness about Korea’s situation to an international community of peace activists. The International Circle voted to approve a resolution of “profound sympathy with Korea.”<ref>{{cite news |title=Proposals at the Hague |url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1907/07/09/101727242.html?pageNumber=4 |access-date=2 May 2024 |publisher=New York Times |date=9 July 1907}}</ref> Noteworthy is that both during the Hague Peace Conference and in the events leading up to it the years before, the continuous attempts Korea made to appeal to the international community and obtain support were conducted using non-violent means and following the structure of existing international law.

=== In Korea ===
In Korea the throne of [[Gojong of Korea]] was threatened by the Pro-Japanese cabinet formed by [[Itō Hirobumi]]. Upon receiving word of the activities of the secret emissaries at the Hague, Hirobumi met with Emperor Gojong on July 3, comparing Gojong’s actions of sending the delegation to a declaration of war against Japan. [[Song Byeong-jun]], the Agriculture, and Industry Minister requested that Gojong travel to Japan and apologize to [[Emperor Meiji]] or capitulate to [[Hasegawa Yoshimichi]], the commander of Korean Residence Japanese Army.<ref>{{Cite web |title=4) 특사 파견의 파문 |url=https://db.history.go.kr/item/level.do?sort=levelId&dir=ASC&start=1&limit=20&page=1&pre_page=1&setId=7&totalCount=7&prevPage=0&prevLimit=&itemId=nh&types=&synonym=off&chinessChar=on&brokerPagingInfo=&levelId=nh_043_0020_0030_0040&position=4&position=4&position=4&position=4 |access-date=2022-07-25 |website=db.history.go.kr}}</ref>
On the night of July 18, Foreign Minister [[Tadasu Hayashi]] arrived in Seoul on behalf of the Japanese government, removing Gojong from the throne and abdicating in favor of the Crown Prince.

==Rescission==
In 1965, the treaties of Japan were confirmed to be "''already [[null and void]]''" by the [[Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Treaty_on_Basic_Relations_between_Japan_and_the_Republic_of_Korea|title=Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea}}
"''It is confirmed that all treaties or agreements concluded between the Empire of Japan and the Empire of Korea on or before August 22, 1910 are already null and void.''"</ref>

{{Citation needed span|text=In 2010, Japan argued that the chronological point of reference for "already null and void" was August 15, 1948,|date=December 2010}} when the government of the Republic of Korea was established; but the Korean analysis of the 1965 declaration construes it as acknowledging the nullification of all treaties and agreements from 1904 onwards,<ref>Lee Man-yeol. [http://english.historyfoundation.or.kr/data/Newsletterlist/1008_eng/sub02.html "For a view of history that puts us at the center,"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111005153650/http://english.historyfoundation.or.kr/data/Newsletterlist/1008_eng/sub02.html |date=2011-10-05 }} ''Northeast Asian History Foundation News.'' 2010.</ref> which is consistent with the argument Yi Tjoune and others attempted to articulate in the Netherlands in 1907.
