ABC News has launched a new campaign for its flagship evening newscast "World News with Diane Sawyer."

"You don't think that something you're watching on TV is going to affect your life." - Debbie Osterberg, an ABC viewer
The first-person narratives collectively capture the DNA of the newscast anchored by Diane Sawyer - from breaking news coverage to stories that affect people's lives in tangible, relatable, human ways. In addition the five promos speak to the mission of ABC News: to inform, inspire, and empower people so they can better understand the world and change their futures.
"You turn to the news for a lot of different reasons and to have a show that gives you something that you can apply to your real life… it was awesome" - Mary Burt-Godwin
