extra edition
Urgent news printing
An extra edition is a special newspaper edition published outside the regular schedule, typically to report breaking news of major significance.
Before continuous broadcast and digital news, extras were how the public learned of urgent events—wars declared, presidents shot, disasters unfolding.
A newsboy crying Extra! Extra! is now a period-piece cliché, but the practice continued into the television era.
