The site contains links and information on hard news coverage of world events from the day and in-depth feature reports on issues affecting America and the world. The site also contains many archived articles from past newscasts. The Web site also features a live daily webcast anchored by Vargas and Woodruff. The webcast includes a brief update of the day's top stories with a preview of that evening's World News Tonight broadcast. The webcast airs live on ABC News Now, ABCNEWS.com and can be distributed wirelessly. This marks the first time an evening newscast has produced a unique program for the Internet audience. The site includes correspondents' and anchors' reports available throughout the day, even before the newscasts; interactive presentations, additional video and in-depth information relating to stories aired or airing on World News Tonight, in the Broadcast Plus portion of the site; extended-play versions of select, high-impact anchor packages and special reports; unaired portions of interviews with newsmakers and ABC News contributors; round-the-clock updates on the latest news; and the Blue Sheet, which is the broadcast's daily blog, with contributions from Vargas, Woodruff and World News Tonight producers and writers, stimulating conversation, provoking thought and demystifying the process of putting the broadcast together.
