The UK's two principal rolling news channels are Sky News and BBC News 24. They place a premium on reporting 'breaking news' but little news really breaks in any twenty-four hours, which encourages this kind of newscasting to 'create' the impression of 'breaking news'. How is this done? Followed by seminar at 5.15pm: New(s) Futures
