Breaking news is a term often used to describe a story that is of interest to viewers. The term can refer to an event that occurred recently or one that happened long ago. In general, breaking news is something that interrupts a program or shows a video of an event.
A good example of a breaking news is the September 11 attacks. This story was broadcast on multiple networks, including the ABC, CBS, and Fox news channels. However, the biggest buzz around the events was on the web, where the news spread like wildfire.
It was a great time to be a cable TV fan, because news was only a few hours behind. Streaming also allowed viewers to customize their viewing experience, while still having access to the latest news.
The most important aspect of breaking news is its ability to be relevant to viewers. For example, it is common for networks to incorporate analysis into a news story. They may also pause their programming to allow for more in-depth coverage.
In addition to the network feed, local stations may break away to give viewers the local scoop. For example, CBS-owned local stations picked up coverage of the Sacramento shooting.
A reverse countdown is usually used to show the number of seconds until the breaking news. Typically, this is five seconds.
While not as gimmicky as the town crier, the news sheet was a superior gimmick. This small sheet of paper was portable, sharable, and arguably better than the tv-display-only town crier.
