CBS has been at the forefront of programming and technology for over half a century - from its start in radio in the 1920s, and progression to television in the early 1950s. CBS News has covered events worldwide on every subject – from the U.S. civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, presidential campaigns and political conventions, the Kennedys and the space program. More recently, CBS News has found itself at the center of coverage of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the Haiti earthquake, the financial crisis, the aftermath of the Tsunami in Japan and the rise of the Occupy movement. Through it all, CBS News teams around the globe provide in-depth, impartial coverage of breaking and current news stories.
