Breaking News is a term used to describe a story that is developing and requires immediate, ongoing coverage. It often involves an event that requires interruption of non-news programming, and is generally presented by a news anchor or correspondent. Breaking news is usually followed by a special segment of a regular national network newscast, though local broadcasts may opt for an emergency cut-in instead. Some networks, such as NBC News, use “Special Report” tickers to cover breaking stories during regularly scheduled newscasts, eliminating the need for cut-ins. The same technique is also used for severe weather events, as a substitute for a local forecast.
