Streaming news is a relatively new phenomenon. This enables viewers to receive news content in a convenient, timely manner. Streaming news is also a cost-efficient way for news organizations to archive and disseminate their content.
Streaming news was born of the technological and cultural convergence that has been underway for decades. This convergence includes the rise of the digital subchannel, which provides viewers with a plethora of alternative programming outlets. Streaming news also offers a number of advantages, including a reduced scarcity of content, the ability to view content anywhere, and a customizable experience.
Breaking news is a term used to describe a story that is of a high interest to viewers. It can refer to a current news story or a story that was reported in the past.
Breaking news can interrupt programming during prime time. However, when a story breaks during a newscast, network talent may pause to allow affiliates to join the feed. If the story is not of a high interest to viewers, the newscaster may simply continue to report on the program.
Breaking news is typically accompanied by music, which emphasizes the news’ importance. A graphic is usually featured at the bottom of the screen, and the lower thirds may be changed to communicate a sense of urgency.
In the case of a breaking news story, the network may also incorporate an internal alert service. An alert system will send out alerts to all affiliates.
