"Dateline
NBC," the signature primetime broadcast for NBC News, premiered
in 1992. Since then, it has pioneered a new approach to primetime

the highest-quality reporting, investigative features, breaking
news coverage and newsmaker profiles.

in-depth coverage of breaking news including the funeral of Princess
Diana, the crash of JFK Jr.'s plane, the Columbine shootings,
the war in Kosovo, the crash of an Alaska Airlines plane and the

Back," a report one family’s grief since the shooting at Columbine
