Gov. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) joined “Meet the Press” to discuss the latest mass shooting in Colorado and what can be done to help minimize gun violence. Polis stressed that he would “take a hard look at why red-flag law wasn’t used,” but that the response to gun violence needs to be national as well. Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) discussed gun legislation, his agenda as the likely chairman of the House Oversight Committee and the power struggle within the GOP for Speaker of the House. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases, talked about his career and the legacy he is leaving behind.

Whether you are a broadcaster or a consumer, you need to understand the difference between breaking news and special report. Both terms are used to describe the same process, but there are some distinct differences.
The breaking news process is often confined to a few seconds, while a news report can last multiple hours. Breaking news is often characterized by music, which emphasizes the urgency of the story.
The network may also incorporate an analysis of the story. It may continue to show a live shot of the anchor. In some instances, the anchor may be asked to pause for a short time in order to reset the coverage.
The anchor may also inform viewers that they will be getting the full story on their local news. This is done to give viewers a sense of attention. If the local news has more detail, it may be cut to a video or continue on the network feed.
During the coverage of a breaking news story, the network may also change the lower thirds. The anchor may even alter the music to create a sense of urgency. This can also be seen in the case of Sky News, which advertises itself as the first to break news.
Depending on the length of the news report, the network may resume previous programming once the coverage is complete. This is common in 24-hour news channels, which often have a live anchor.
During prime time, breaking news can interrupt a news program. However, if a local event is occurring, the reporter may be on the scene. The coverage may be sketchy at first, since the reporter may not have all the information.
