Whois & Analysis for huffingtonpost.ca

Breaking news, interchangeably termed latebreaking news and also known as a special report or special coverage or news bulletin, is a current issue that broadcasters feel warrants the interruption of scheduled programming and/or current news in order to report its details.

Its use is also assigned to the most significant story of the moment or a story that is being covered live.

It could be a story that is simply of wide interest to viewers and has little impact otherwise.

Many times, breaking news is used after the news organization has already reported on the story.

When a story has not been reported on previously, the graphic and phrase "Just In" is sometimes used instead.

The term lifestyle can denote the interests, opinions, behaviours, and behavioural orientations of an individual, group, or culture.

Viral phenomena are objects or patterns that are able to replicate themselves or convert other objects into copies of themselves when these objects are exposed to them.

They get their name from the way that viruses propagate.

This has become a common way to describe how thoughts, information, and trends move into and through a human population.

"Viral media" is a common term whose popularity has been fueled by the rapid rise of social network sites alongside declining advertising rates and an extremely fragmented audience for broadcast media.

Different from the "spreadable media", "viral media" uses viral metaphors of "infection" and "contamination", which means that audiences play as passive carriers rather than an active role to "spread" contents.

Memes are possibly the best-known example of informational viral patterns.

Conversation is a form of interactive, spontaneous communication between two or more people.

Typically, it occurs in spoken communication, as written exchanges are usually not referred to as conversations.

Politics (from Greek Politiká: Politika, definition "affairs of the cities") is the process of making decisions applying to all members of each group.

More narrowly, it refers to achieving and exercising positions of governance — organized control over a human community, particularly a state.

Furthermore, politics is the study or practice of the distribution of power and resources within a given community (this is usually a hierarchically organized population) as well as the interrelationship(s) between communities.
