When Lauren Stevens was assigned a new work phone number at her job in the San Francisco Bay Area, she kept getting texts for someone named “Verndawg.” But when she researched the number, she discovered “Verndawg” was really Wernher Krutein, a renowned photographer who spent more than 60 years traveling the world with his camera. Now their unlikely friendship is changing both of their lives. NBC News’ Hallie Jackson has the story.
Current News is a network-based breaking news story, often accompanied by a graphic and distinctive music cue, which interrupts regular non-news programming on television and radio. Breaking news is typically a major event or series of events that require immediate, nationwide coverage. In North America, until the 1990s, networks primarily interrupted regular programming to cover severe weather events that could cause widespread harm or danger. In addition to a news flash, some breaking stories may be highlighted with lower thirds or alert crawls during regularly scheduled programming, lessening the need for full interruptions and replacing standard station imaging and program reminders.
