Current News
Breaking news, also known as a special report, late breaking news or news flash, is a current issue that broadcasters feel warrants the interruption of scheduled programming in order to report its details. It is typically assigned to the most significant story of the moment, but can be used for stories that are less urgent or newsworthy, particularly for non-live coverage.
On television, the interruption usually occurs in a national network newscast and is followed by a short-lived opening graphic (typically featuring music), and voiceovers introducing the news event. The program may then be joined in progress by affiliate stations.
Local radio station programming is often interrupted by a breaking news report; however, these are less common than on television or in other digital platforms. The local news director has the option to take over the network’s feed for local coverage.
The news event itself is covered by a news anchor, or by a reporter or analysts. For example, a report about an ongoing terrorist attack might feature a live shot of the scene or be passed to a reporter at the site. The news anchor might then ask the reporter for additional information or analysis about the event.
After the story has been reported, the anchor might remind viewers that more details will be on their local news later that day or on the network’s overnight newscast if applicable. Occasionally, the news anchor will say that more details will be available at a later time on their website or on the network’s news division website, but it is not always done this way.
