The Ticker: Michelle Obama On The Daily Show, ABC Gets a Qwiki, Stegall to Dallas

By Alex Weprin 

    • First Lady Michelle Obama will be a guest on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” next Tuesday, May 29. It will be her second appearance on the show, her first as First Lady. She will be there to shill her new book AMERICAN GROWN: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America, but viewers should expect politics to come up. Update: She will be on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and “The View” that day too.
    • ABC News is working with startup Qwiki to use its new news format. What the heck is Qwiki? Qwiki allows publishers to combine, text, photos, videos, tweets and other items to create a cohesive story, or provide information about a specific topic. Here’s an example of what it looks like.
    • Fox News correspondent Casey Stegall is moving from the channel’s Los Angeles bureau to its Dallas bureau. He will make the move in a few weeks. “We’ve been impressed with Casey’s hard news instincts and proven experience in Los Angeles, which should serve him well, reporting from our Dallas bureau,” said Michael Clemente, senior VP of News Editorial in a statement.
