national news

Domestic current events

National news refers to events and stories considered significant across an entire country, as opposed to local news covering a specific city or region.

Television networks distinguish between local broadcasts and national news programs that air simultaneously across time zones.

The term often implies mainstream coverage from major outlets: The story made national news after the video went viral.
