ABC Kicks Off Social-Media Version of 'World News Tonight'
Posted in: UncategorizedWalt Disney Co.’s ABC News division is producing a social-media version of its “World News Tonight” program to attract mobile viewers.
The 1-minute-long news summaries will appear every weekday, starting today, on the show’s Facebook page. In what the company said was a first for a network anchor, “Facecast: The One Thing” will be hosted by David Muir, who took over the evening newscast from Diane Sawyer in September.
The Facebook program will feature three or four topics, often focused on a statistic or photo that caught the news team’s interest, Mr. Muir said in a telephone interview. It will also incorporate comments and story ideas suggested by viewers, he said.
