Breaking news is a type of television or radio news story that is of sufficient importance to warrant interruption of regular programming and/or national network newscasts. Such events may also require the suspension of normal commercial advertising during the duration of a breaking news report. When this occurs, a special graphic is often displayed with a distinctive music cue, and lower thirds may be altered to convey urgency. Prior to the advent of 24-hour news networks, these breaks were typically limited to extremely important events such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Breaking news reports are sometimes referred to as a “Newsflash” or a “Special Report.”.
