Using the term “current news” to describe a breaking event can be misleading. It is common to use the term for other things, such as the first mention of an upcoming event or the most important story of the moment.
In reality, the most important breaking news can be quite far in the future. For example, the first mention of an upcoming event, such as a scheduled speech by a political leader, may not happen until weeks in advance.
Other uses of the term “current news” include: “special coverage,” which is when a local news station breaks away from the network feed for a moment to cover the story. Usually the local station’s reporter covers the story at the scene and shares information as it breaks.
“Just in” is another common use of the term “current news.” The term is often used in lieu of the above-mentioned “break,” though it is rarely used on radio.
The “special report” is a special version of “breaking news” that is often used when the story is too big to be covered in a single newscast. This version usually includes an internal alert service.
The “biggest story of the moment” is also a common use of the term “breaking news.” It is often used to describe a story that is of interest to many viewers. In this case, the network may join in on the fun by sharing information and analysis with the local stations.
