Current News is about covering breaking news, which usually refers to something that’s occurring right now, like a shooting or fire. These stories are the most chaotic and confusing to cover, so it’s important for media outlets to get things right. However, too often, rushing to be the first to report, or relying on eyewitness accounts, can lead to mistakes. For example, when NPR reported that Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords had died after being shot in a Tucson supermarket last week, it was based on bad information from sources. That’s why journalists must always do their own first hand reporting before making any assumptions about breaking news.
