hot news
Fresh press bulletin
Hot news refers to breaking or very recent information, especially stories that have significant commercial value because of their timeliness.
In legal contexts, the hot news doctrine protects news organizations from competitors who would copy and republish their freshly gathered reporting before the original value has diminished.
The term emphasizes that news is a perishable commodity—what's hot today is stale tomorrow.
The wire services rushed to distribute the hot news from the summit.
