Newsflash and Special report are types of breaking news alerts. Usually, an event occurring that is of such great importance as to require interruption of regular programming will trigger this type of broadcast. Previously, such breaks were reserved for extremely urgent news events such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which prompted nationwide coverage and required many stations to interrupt their regular programs for live reporting. Network affiliates may also use “Newsflash” or “Special Report” tickers during their regularly scheduled programing to communicate breaking news stories, reducing the need for cut-ins. The national network newscast will often pause to allow affiliates to switch to the feed.
