Whether you are a television or radio fan, you have probably heard the term “breaking news”. Breaking news is a term used to describe the latest news, which may or may not be live. It is often used to describe stories of wide interest to viewers.
Depending on the nature of the story, a breaking news report may last as little as a few minutes or as long as several hours. Networks may join the feed of local affiliates to provide coverage. For more prolonged coverage, the network may suspend regular commercial advertising.
The term “breaking news” is often used interchangeably with “special report.” The difference is that the term “special report” refers to an actual report of a breaking event.
A breaking news report usually involves a live shot of the anchor and a graphic containing music to give the appearance of urgency. The breaking news may be accompanied by news of other events, such as a scheduled speech by a political leader.
A breaking news report may also involve the use of a reverse countdown. The reverse countdown is usually a five second countdown.
An outro promo may also be used to direct viewers to the network’s website or to a streaming news channel. This may be used to introduce a new program or to offer an alternative outlet for current news.
A breaking news report may also feature a “just in” headline. This type of news is usually a sketchy one.
