A news event that is of sufficient importance to halt current non-news programming or, if a national network newscast is in progress at the time of the breaking story, interrupt it. Newsflash and special report are also terms used to describe these segments. Before the advent of 24-hour news networks, such programming interruptions were rare and typically reserved for extremely urgent events, such as the assassination of John F.
