newsflash
Urgent broadcast interruption
A newsflash is a brief announcement interrupting regular programming to report breaking news: We interrupt this broadcast for a newsflash.
The term sounds somewhat dated, as continuous news cycles have made such interruptions less dramatic.
Informally and often sarcastically, newsflash introduces something obvious: Newsflash: teenagers like to sleep late.
