news alerts
Timely information pings
News alerts are notifications—typically on a phone or computer—that deliver breaking news as it happens.
They push information to you rather than requiring you to seek it out: I got a news alert about the earthquake while I was in a meeting.
The term implies urgency and real-time delivery, distinguishing alerts from regular news consumption.
