New guidelines include at-home option for cervical cancer screening

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down. The board of the private nonprofit that delivered the likes of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood and Sesame Street decided yesterday to dissolve after 58 years. The move comes after the GOP-led Congress killed all federal funding last year. “What has happened to public media is devastating,” said Ruby Calvert, chair of the board of directors. “Yet, even in this moment, I am convinced that public media will survive, and that a new Congress will address public media’s role in our country because it is critical to our children's education, our history, culture and democracy to do so.” During its heyday, CPB helped build and sustain a nationwide public media system of more than 1,500 locally owned and operated public radio and television stations.
