Breaking news is new, urgent information that captures audiences due to its timeliness and relevance. It can include major events, accidents, and significant developments that could significantly impact the public, often interrupting regular news coverage to provide updates as they unfold. The urgency of breaking news requires journalists to gather information quickly, and may rely on eyewitness accounts, official statements, and social media. This type of reporting can lead to ethical issues in terms of the need for speed versus the need to verify facts and avoid spreading misinformation. Examine the role of social media in how breaking news is reported and consumed.
