A breaking news story is a topic that is currently of great interest to the public, as evidenced by its popularity on social media. In the past, breaking news events often interrupted non-news programs, and national network television broadcasts typically used a special graphic with a distinctive music cue to notify viewers that the program was being paused for an important story. This type of break was commonly used for serious and urgent events, such as the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, which prompted national coverage and required many stations to interrupt their programming. However, 24-hour news networks now frequently use special tickers to show breaking stories during regularly scheduled programming, thus lessening the need for a cut-in. This feature is also known as Newsflash and Special report.
