Breaking news is an event that elicits so much coverage and attention that it requires broadcasters to interrupt their regular programming and air a special report. This type of news is usually accompanied by a special graphic or countdown sequence, and may be followed by a news anchor. Depending on the story, the broadcast may continue for minutes or hours or even days. Historically, breaking news was reserved for very serious events that required immediate coverage such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy or a major natural disaster, but today’s 24-hour news networks commonly use a special report feature to cover various stories of national interest on an ongoing basis. Station identification may be included in the special report, and lower thirds and other graphics may be modified to convey a sense of urgency.
