Breaking news alerts are immediate notifications that capture attention and communicate the who, what, where, when, why, and how of urgent events as they occur. These alerts are disseminated across multiple platforms, including TV, radio, social media, and mobile apps, to reach a large audience with maximum speed and impact. The effectiveness of breaking news alerts hinges on their timeliness, and news organizations must balance speed with accuracy to build trust with their audiences during times of crisis.
