Breaking news
How would I say "Breaking News" for a newspaper?

In Spanish on-line newspapers, where an English one might have a banner with 'breaking news' they say 'urgente'. This is presumably because these days, nobody can tell the difference between urgent and important.

Although, to me "breaking news" would translate as "latest news", wouldn't it? |

As I understand it, "breaking news" is when reports are coming in, but not enough to guarantee the accuracy of the reports, which might be unreliable. "Latest news" is more certain than that. Perhaps that's just me. I don't think that these days a journalist bothers about accuracy of expressions anyway.

Latest news is últimas noticias.
Breaking news is, as Pericles says, urgencias. I would like to know if there is another term for urgencias.

"Urgencia" gives me the idea of a medical emergency or a disaster.
Newspapers used to issue "extras", but they don't do that anymore. The equivalent in radio and television for "breaking news" and "latest news" would be both "últimas noticias" for me.

I'm with Angélica: "última noticia" / "noticia de último momento" / "último momento[¡!]".
I can't find another way...

Extra(ordinary), in other words "out of schedule" or rather between "scheduled issues" you can have any number of "extraordinary" issue(s). And exactly right. "breaking" as just coming out. Latest. |

In English, Latest News and Breaking news are very different things.
Latest News is just news that is coming in, it could have little importance, or high importance. Breaking news is news that is very important, such as military actions, important deaths, terrorist attacks, important court cases, etc. |
