Hi. My definition of "breaking news" probably isn't as relevant as the Admin Moderator's definition, which is contained in this recent post asking people -- in these times of trouble -- to be selective on "breaking news" posts. The thread is here:

I recommend you read the original post for another reason: it's just hilariously funny! Whichever admin wrote it has a very very good sense of humor. :) But to the extent there is a definition, it's contained in that thread.
Hope you have a good day. Don't mean no harm: it's just that it's not breaking news. It's certainly a useful post and I'm glad you took the time to share it.
No harm, no foul. I will now be more restrained in the future in the use of "Breaking News." This is the first time I saw it defined in any kind of way. I have used it in the past to define articles that didn't fit other categories, but were very current.
Thanks for the information
