24-hour online
ABCNEWS.com is the 24-hour online news service of ABC News and is consistently ranked among the top news sites, delivering live breaking news and a wide range of original reports on politics, lifestyle and entertainment that showcase ABC News' unrivaled coverage of our world. ABCNEWS.com also offers video-on-demand programming from all ABC News broadcasts, including "World News with Charles Gibson," "Good Morning America," "Nightline," "20/20" and "Primetime," as well as from the network's 24-hour digital channel, ABC News Now.
ABC News' unparalleled reporting is complemented by a robust online community, as the website actively enlists viewers to talk back and report to ABC News on the stories and issues impacting their lives. Members of the digital community can put their own questions directly to newsmakers or to ABC News' reporters from any outlet -- web, cell phone videos, text messages, online chats and e-mails -- and get answers to their questions.
One of the most popular destinations on ABCNEWS.com is "The Blotter," the web page of ABC News Chief Investigative correspondent Brian Ross and the ABC News Investigative Unit. The Investigative Unit has broken dozens of important stories online, including the Mark Foley congressional page scandal. After "The Blotter" first reported the existence of questionable e-mails sent by then-Congressman Foley to a former congressional page, other pages came forward to reveal more sexually explicit instant messages from Foley. After being questioned by ABC News, Foley resigned.
