Breaking news is a term used to describe news stories that require the immediate interruption of regular programming, typically television or radio. Historically, break-ins (also known as “Newsflash” or “Special report”) were limited to very urgent news events that required immediate, nationwide coverage, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which prompted network stations across the country to halt regular broadcasts and air special reports that could continue for hours or even days.
Today, breaking news often occurs on 24-hour cable or satellite channels that feature a single anchor available to interrupt their programming at any time. These networks may also use tickers or other graphic formats to highlight specific breaking news stories during regularly scheduled programs.
