Current News is a feature segment that discusses the day’s most notable and important stories. Until the rise of 24-hour news networks, breaking news events typically required stations to interrupt non-news programming with a special break known as a newsflash or special report, and often featured altered lower thirds and other graphics to convey the urgency of the situation. Today, many major network news programs pause their broadcasts during a breaking story and then insert a “Special Report” ticker that is synchronized with a countdown sequence to allow network affiliates to switch to the new feed for local coverage.
Among the stories discussed in this episode: * Unmanned drones are cheaper than missiles, easy to mass-produce and can attack at long range with pinpoint precision. NPR’s Scott Simon reports on how they’re reshaping warfare.
Plus, prosecutors say Utah’s Kouri Richins tried to claim millions of dollars from multiple life insurance policies by fatally poisoning her husband with fentanyl.
