Welcome To The Neighborhood
A new "World News Tonight" launches on ABC this evening, but not before other new features of the broadcast have been unveiled. "WNT" launched a new blog, on which Elizabeth Vargas promises she and co-anchor Bob Woodruff will use as part of an effort "to bring you inside our newsroom and bring the world's news closer to you." More Vargas:
"Here, you'll find our thoughts on daily news and the way we build our broadcast; details from reporters in the field; videoblogs and reporter's notebook entries, like Bob's from Iran, and the ones we posted during my trip to Baghdad for the Iraqi elections. We hope you will check in throughout the day for updates."We say welcome to the blogging neighborhood and we hope that your efforts will provide the kind of transparency and behind-the-scenes glimpses that we try to provide. The more information all news organizations provide about how they gather and present the news, the better off the consumers of the news will be.
