ABC to Launch One-Minute Facebook-Only Newscast

ABC News is bringing more news to Facebook with a minute-long newscast announced today that will be the first-ever social media-only newscast attempted by a major network.

The newscast is called Facecast: “The One Thing” and will feature World News Tonight anchor David Muir, every weekday, catching people up (in a minute, literally) with “the day’s top stories and trending topics.”

World News Tonight executive producer Almin Karamehmedovic said, “We’re very excited to launch a newscast that is exclusively for Facebook where users can continue the conversation beyond the evening newscast at any time.”
