Breaking news is an announcement of a sudden and important event that requires immediate national or international coverage. It usually interrupts current non-news programming, or if a network’s newscast is in progress, the show will pause and a countdown sequence will appear, allowing station affiliates to switch to the network’s feed to air the breaking news. The broadcaster’s lower thirds and other graphics are often altered to convey a sense of urgency. Until the advent of 24-hour news networks, such interruptions were rare and reserved for events with significant nationwide impact (such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy). “Newsflash” and “Special Report” are other terms for this type of coverage.
