How the networks covered Barcelona attack Thursday night

Over at “ABC World News Tonight,” producers opted to cover the story under the more broad “breaking news” banner, with those words and bold red colors used at the top of the broadcast to tease and introduce the story.

Anchor David Muir appeared in front of the set’s video wall, which boasted a rendition of the broadcast’s normal textural background but in deep red, along with the words “Deadly Van Rampage” appearing over his shoulder.

“World News” coverage also included the use of large text based graphics in the lower left of the screen, again in the red breaking news color scheme.
