Trending: What’s Hot On Current News
Breaking news is a special report on urgent, usually time-sensitive events that require the interruption of other programming. In the past, this was often restricted to weather-related news or stories that required nationwide coverage, such as the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, which prompted several stations to interrupt regular programs and broadcast live special reports. If an event warrants national network news coverage, the network will generally alert its affiliates and instruct them to interrupt their own local programming or a regular newscast and switch to the network feed. In some cases, a special graphic or lower thirds may be used to convey the urgency of the situation.
