A MSNBC nasceu a 15 de Julho de 1996, fruto de uma parceria da Microsoft com a cadeia de televisão americana NBC. É um canal por cabo de informação americano que emite 24 horas por dia. Actualmente é o quarto canal informativo mais visto, atrás da FoxNews, CNN e CNN Headline News.
O site da MSNBC está bem estruturado, repleto de informação actualizada várias vezes ao dia, e com muitos links para se obter ainda mais informação acerca de todos os assuntos. Além disso, aposta muito em vídeos e movimento dentro do próprio site, o que leva a que se queira descobrir mais.
Além de tudo isto, o site oferece links para muitos serviços, como a programação, a meteorologia, os sites dos programas que transmite, e ainda algo que raramente acontece em outros sites, que é a possibilidade de obter informações acerca de como se candidatar a um emprego na MSNBC, descrevendo pormenorizadamente quais os cargos em aberto e fornecendo links na mesma página para a obtenção de mais informações.
Um dos links do site, "Who we are", leva a uma página onde se encontram os nomes dos colaboradores da MSNBC. São 39, ao todo, mais 6 que estão assinalados como contribuintes do programa de hoje. A maior parte dos nomes fornece uma hiperligação que leva directamente ao lugar da respectiva biografia na página.
Como a maior parte dos sites, a MSNBC também fornece a possibilidade de receber uma newsletter periódica com actualizações noticiosas.
A MSNBC possui correspondentes por todo o mundo e tem filiais em ambas as costas dos Estados Unidos, assim como uma filial internacional em Londres.
