NPR’s Current News talks about stories that are gaining attention. Those include new claims about Michael Jackson’s Neverland estate and a Utah jury’s conviction of a woman who killed her husband by spiking his drink with fentanyl. Also, we talk to NPR correspondents about how drones are reshaping war — they’re cheaper than missiles, easy to mass-produce and strike with precision.
Breaking news is a television or radio program that interrupts regular non-news or scheduled newscast programming for live coverage of urgent events, such as a national emergency or major weather event. This type of coverage is usually brief, but may continue for hours or days if a breaking story continues to develop.
Prior to the rise of 24-hour news channels, interruptions for urgent breaking news were reserved for high-profile events such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Today, the practice is commonplace on cable and satellite networks that offer a live news feed for their affiliates to use.
