Current News is a section that talks about what’s Trending. From Iran celebrating missile strikes to disgraced financier Marc Sanchez snitching on Nadia Marcinko, these stories are getting the most attention.
When an event happens that elicits immediate, nationwide coverage requiring numerous stations to interrupt their non-news programming (or in some cases, regular newscasts), it is known as breaking news. This may be signalled by a network telling its affiliated stations to “stand by” for an imminent interruption, or by a countdown sequence on the newscast. The breaking news report may then begin with a graphic overlaid with a distinctive music cue. Breaking news used to be restricted to severe weather events, which would prompt a special ticker or cut-in during regularly scheduled programming. However, 24-hour news channels are now common and often interrupt programs to cover breaking news.
