Breaking news, late-breaking news, and special coverage are terms used interchangeably to describe a news story that has a timely or significant date. Breaking news often describes a story that is a subject of wide interest to many people. The term “breaking news” has become redundant with its use as a general description for all news. The term “just in” is sometimes used instead. In addition to the terms “breaking news” and “current news”, there are other terms that describe these same types of stories.
When a breaking news story breaks, the network or local station will usually switch to its current newscast, while a smaller network or local station will move their coverage to an auxiliary digital subchannel that airs in conjunction with the main signal. During the coverage, the anchors may ask viewers to check their local cable news channels or network websites to stay updated on the breaking story. The coverage may continue until it reaches a conclusion. Occasionally, the network or local station will cut away from a live newscast in progress, and may even move the program to a different subchannel.
Breaking news can interrupt prime-time programming, including new or highly-rated programs. The network may have to pause to allow other networks affiliated with the station to join the feed. The network will likely notify viewers of upcoming interruptions and may even use special topical graphics to promote their programming. However, the local station will most likely return to its network feed after the break and may join on a “special edition” if the breaking news is important enough.
