Breaking News is a live news coverage of an event or series of events that warrants immediate, widespread, or sustained media attention. Such breaking events typically interrupt non-news programming (or, before 24-hour news networks existed, regularly scheduled network newscasts), and a special graphic and countdown sequence may be used to alert viewers that the program is being interrupted. The breaking news coverage may last a few minutes or continue for hours, days, or even weeks.
