Television news has been on the airwaves for decades. But the last couple of years have seen the emergence of streaming news. This new way of getting your news is transforming the media equation, enabling timely news delivery and customizing the experience.
Streaming news arrives on the viewer’s time and is delivered on demand. Unlike broadcast television, streaming news is available in a variety of formats. It can also be viewed on any device. In fact, a recent study revealed that viewers spent more time watching streaming programs than they did on broadcast television.
Whether you are watching television or streaming, you may want to familiarize yourself with the difference between breaking news and special report. A special report is a live story that is interrupted during a network’s broadcast. When this happens, the network can resume previous programming, or rerun a segment that was aired. The anchor will introduce the news.
Breaking news, on the other hand, is the most important story of the moment. For this reason, it is usually reported by a network’s anchor. Once the news is broken, the network will pass the coverage on to a reporter at the location of the breaking event. These reporters will relay information through their local news outlets.
Typically, a breaking news report will last for a few minutes. If the news report is longer, it can interrupt other programming. Depending on the length of the interruption, the network may also decide to suspend commercial advertising.
