ABC News Moves Mark a Turning Point


ABC made big news when it announced David Muir would replace Diane Sawyer as host of World News. But perhaps more important, was the announcement that George Stephanopoulos, not Muir, would be the network’s “chief anchor” to be relied upon in the event of breaking news and major political coverage. USA Today’s Gary Levin says it marks the first time that someone other than the evening news anchor will be the main face of a network news team. Levin says it’s the strongest signal yet that the flagship evening newscast is no longer the most important.
