In what seems like a weekly event, another Disney internet site has relaunched. The all new ABCNews.com launched today and just like the new disney.com and espn.com, it focuses on video and being dynamic. Out of all the Disney buisness, I really feel like ABC News has a great digital strategy. They are creating a niche for themselves by being the only traditional news source that is courting user generated content to such a great extent. They also have a broadband news channel, ABC News Now, that increased ABC News pressence on all sorts of platforms with very little overhead. I think David Westin and his team should be very proud of their accomplishments. I hope that this will be a step in increasing ABC News' profile within the company. The irony of this is that on the front page I found this story. Why is the View the source of more news than any other part of The Walt Disney Company? Where are the Slessingers when you need them?
