A Breaking News (also known as a Newsflash, Special Report or Breaking News) is a short news item, or a segment of a longer news story, that requires the immediate interruption of current non-news programming or regularly scheduled newscasts. This kind of report may be provided through a cut-in or alert crawl, or it may take the form of a full network newscast interruption, where station identification is overlaid during the report and the regular program’s commercial advertising is paused or eliminated entirely. In the past, such interruptive news coverage was reserved for extremely urgent events such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and for severe weather such as hurricanes or tornadoes. However, the advent of 24-hour news networks has reduced such interruptive interruptions and made them commonplace.
