Subscribe to RSSAlmost five years to the day since we first launched the Daily Nightly, we present a new and improved Daily Nightly blog. You’ll still be able to find Brian Williams’ regular posts, behind-the-scenes info on Nightly News reports, as well as related links and more – but all on a better (and better-looking!) platform.
We welcome your comments – but please, stay on topic! We hope to continue to cultivate a community of Nightly News viewers who are interested in the stories we’re covering. If you want to send general feedback, story tips or have a question about Nightly News, please visit the About Nightly News page for contact information.
There are new features worth telling you about on this blog:
To see more of a post, just click the "Show More" label. There's a "Share" feature for each item that lets you send Daily Nightly links to your friends via e-mail, Twitter or Facebook.
To read comments, just click on the link in the blue box at lower right. You’ll need a Newsvine profile to post comments to the blog – but you’ll no longer have to wait for comments to be approved by a moderator. We will count on you, our Daily Nightly readers, to keep the discussion thoughtful and civil. Please flag inappropriate posts for removal – especially those that are off-topic and attacking others. You can do that by clicking on the ! symbol next to the post. As with any blog and Daily Nightly, blog editors reserve the right to delete posts.
Other bonus features – you can now sign up to get e-mail alerts for when new items are posted.
You can learn more about Newsvine here. Tell us what you think of all these changes. We’d love to hear from you.

Well, this will take a little getting used to. The look of the page is definitely clearer and uncluttered. Also, I like the bigger font.
I don't care for having to page all the way to the bottom for blog listings. Couldn't they go along the side as before?
Also, "2 days ago" makes me do the mental calculations as to when something was posted. Can't we go back to date and time?

Me too! Very shiny.
Hey gang,
I'm Tyler, I work over at Newsvine - which you probably just registered for if you're reading this - and I want to reiterate one very cool thing about switching platforms.
For a while, that's been myself and members of Brian's team - and now they've got more time to bring you reports and I've got more time to help out everyone.
Check out Newsvine now that you've got an account.
HI Tyler
I've been blogger since this started and it's been a trip. Now I must admit after the shock cooled down it's pretty cool. I like the quick message system because I wait to read all my fellow Nightly News Family comments. Now Lisa give most of the full information of the day which I must admit sometimes I miss. Other members just full in the blanks from all over the US. With so much insantity going on it's a relief to read about Brian's day. He could get a part time job as a comedian during this recession as he does great on the evening shows like Jay Leno, Jimmy Fallon and SNL.
So far so good great job kids
I don't like surprises. You, news networks, are always giving out previews of news stories with the oft-use quote "film at eleven" yet there wasn't anything mentioned about the change until it happened.
Me thinks this new format will take a bit of getting used too....!!
It seems confusing, and I don't if I can get use to it; but if it works better for you,
that's good.
I use google reader for your feed - and since you do not publish the whole article anymore, makes the feed inconvenient.
Sorry, but I'm not loving it.... the bigger font and extra white space combine to require a lot more scrolling, and the masthead takes up a third to almost half of the browser window on a 1024x768 screen. I also think the functionality of "Show More Text/Photos" buttons seems inconsistently applied. From a usability standpoint, while shiny, this new interface gets a C+ from me. (Though it probably gets an A+ from people with vision issues.)
I always want to know who I am reading ... blogs aren't built for the royal we voice. Brian Williams writes: is fine ... but when someone else is writing, even if it's a Nightly PA or an msnbc.com editor, identify them. Big congrats on 5 years. That's a lifetime in the blogosphere.

As with any new home, you look around, do some serious exploring,
absorb, appreciate the great features, enjoy the charm and try your best to get familiar.
