Breaking news is a broadcast journalism term used to refer to events of urgent importance that require immediate coverage, typically interrupting regular non-news programming. The phrase is usually introduced by a countdown sequence to allow network affiliates to switch over to the network feed and a graphic on screen, often accompanied by a distinctive music cue, warning that an emergency report will be forthcoming. Before 24-hour news networks existed, such interruptions were normally reserved for events of national significance such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
