Tool

I find the term "breaking news" one of the most exasperating of our times. It's either news - or it isn't.

Nonetheless, I have sympathy with the hacks who have to tap out those first lines to announce a new story. Apparently, in the BBC, to deliver those words to "all platforms" could take five minutes. Now they have a Breaking News Tool - which reduces the time taken to two minutes. Still looks terrifying to me. Ideally, I'd like to see a spell-check button flashing big time...
