Article: "When 'Now' Is Not Now on ABC's 'World News'"

[Mervin Block]

Dear Friend,

Writing news is not so easy as a-b-c. "World News," ABC's evening newscast, shows that getting it right is hard. Apparently, too hard. So hard that I re-examined some ABC newscasts, did a little digging and wrote an article about the anchor, Charles Gibson, and a few correspondents. I identified only one correspondent, David Muir, because he's a weekend anchor, and he has sat in for Gibson. 

My article--"When 'Now' Is Not Now on ABC's 'World News'"--has now been posted; you can read it at http://www.mervinblock.com/?q=node/100.
