!Tropes for the series:
* HumanInterestStory: During David Muir's run, he has done stories about people going through difficult times but managing to pull through, either because of illnesses like cancer or people who have died during the COVID-19 pandemic.
** He has also done segments like America Strong, where he showcases Americans helping each other through tough times and acts of kindness towards strangers.
** Made in America, where he showcases American companies making American products, since many things sold in America are either made in China or other countries.
* ThisJustIn: Any story that just happened late in the day will be covered before other stories will also be covered like the death of a major figure like Ruth Bader Ginsburg or UsefulNotes/GeorgeHWBush.
