Current News is a daily news segment that talks about the most talked-about stories in the media. Today, we discuss a growing threat to democracy: proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting. Plus, allegations that a renowned labor leader sexually abused girls and raped Dolores Huerta are shaking up the history of Cesar Chavez. And Iran’s use of drones that are cheaper than missiles is reshaping war.
Breaking News is a news event that requires an immediate interruption of non-news programs, or, in the case of national network broadcasts, regular program breaks. This is most common for stories of extreme urgency, such as the assassination of a president or severe weather events. The break usually begins with a graphic and distinctive music cue, overlaid over top of the current hour, and network affiliates are instructed to stand by for the break. In addition, lower thirds and other graphics may be modified to convey the urgency of the story.
