Definition
A brief, urgent news bulletin interrupting regular programming to report breaking news. Can also refer to information presented as if it were surprising or obvious.
Etymology
English compound from 'news' (Middle English) and 'flash' (originally meaning sudden burst of light). The broadcasting sense emerged in the 1940s with radio and television news.
Kelly Says
The iconic 'newsflash' interruption became a cultural touchstone during major 20th-century events like Pearl Harbor and JFK's assassination. Today it's often used sarcastically to highlight information that should be obvious to everyone.
