About Current News
Breaking news is a segment of a television or radio program that reports on a developing story of significant newsworthiness. A breaking news report may interrupt other programming to provide coverage, and will usually feature an opening graphic and a distinctive music cue. The graphical design is often meant to convey a sense of urgency, which was especially true in the case of breaking stories such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, when the network feed was interrupted on numerous local stations nationwide. Today, 24-hour news channels often use special tickers for selected breaking stories during regular programming, lessening the need for cut-ins.
