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.

Weather forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the state of the atmosphere for a given location.

Traffic reporting is the near real-time distribution of information about road conditions such as traffic congestion, detours, and traffic collisions.
