LIVE: Pelosi Holds Weekly Briefing | NBC News
For the Bentley University community, current news can be difficult to find, especially since it is not available in the traditional print media. The current news guide at the library offers some tips to find and use current news. You can also access older news archives on the library’s “Archived News” tab. Here are some examples:
Breaking news, also known as late-breaking news, is a term used for the most important story of the moment. This may refer to an event that is currently unfolding, such as the recent North Korea crisis. Because breaking news is the same term for all news, many 24-hour news channels have used the phrase to fill airtime with commentary. While it is redundant to say that “breaking news” means everything, there are several instances where the phrase is used.
The network or local station may decide to continue broadcasting the story with the same anchor. However, if the story is already on air, the station may begin a new program, or the network may switch back to a newscast. It depends on how long the coverage lasts. This is a good way to keep viewers engaged. A network will usually try to maintain the same quality of programming while ensuring that local stations receive the same level of quality and service.
Broadcasts often pause national network newscasts to allow other network affiliates to join the feed. Breaking news graphics also feature music that emphasizes the importance of the story. Usually, the anchor introduces the story. Lastly, the lower third of the screen may be lowered or raised to emphasize a sense of urgency. If the story is important, the network may even change the lower third of the television screen. In this way, the viewers are sure to feel the same urgency.
