When a new story is extremely important and must be reported immediately, it is called late-breaking. Breaking news typically requires an interruption of programming to report the information, but at 24-hour news networks with anchors available live for immediate interruption, breaking news can also be reported in the middle of regular programming using lower thirds and other graphics to convey urgency. In the days before 24-hour television, interrupting programming for breaking news was reserved for severe and imminent threats such as tornadoes or landfalling hurricanes.

Late-breaking works (LBW) are research developments that may not have been published or presented in time for the CHI 2025 submission deadline, but are highly significant and of critical importance to the field. LBWs report on data that became available for public dissemination after the CHI abstract submission deadline, and must be substantially novel (not simply an extension of existing work) or definitively confirm or refute other critically important work. Accepted LBWs will be presented in the LBW session at CHI 2025 and appear semi-archival in the ACM Digital Library.

The global affairs field spans a broad range of issues, including international relations, conflict and peacebuilding, human rights, economic development, gender studies and foreign policy. The fields are interconnected and share a common goal of understanding the world’s problems and working towards solutions.

Brookings experts are leaders in their fields, providing policymakers and stakeholders around the globe with trusted insights and recommendations to advance peace and prosperity. They are at the forefront of examining the causes and effects of major global events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and addressing complex challenges such as climate change, geopolitical competition, global health and sustainable development.

A global affairs student will develop a comprehensive knowledge of the world through courses that are both interdisciplinary and subject-specific, with concentrations in topics such as international development, political economy, security and conflict, and diplomacy. These courses will provide a foundation for students’ future career pursuits in the public, private and non-profit sectors in the United States and abroad.

Students in this program will also have the opportunity to gain real-world experience through a capstone project during their senior year, applying their academic training in a policy task force with an external partner such as a government agency, nongovernmental organization or nonprofit group or a company in the United States and abroad. Capstones can be completed during the fall of the senior year (for graduates who graduate in the spring) or in the final semester for students graduating in the fall.

Business is an enterprising activity carried out with the purpose of earning profit by producing or selling goods and/or services. Businesses can be private or public, and they can be for-profit or non-profit. Businesses can also be organized as sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, or joint ventures. The structure of a business is defined by the legal and regulatory environment in which it operates. Business news encompasses reporting on the activities of businesses and their impact on society, economy, and financial markets.

With a wide variety of businesses offering a range of products and services, it’s important to understand the differences between them. For instance, while Amazon is known for its ecommerce platform and book catalogue, Apple is well-known for its innovative electronic devices such as laptops, phones, and earphones.

Responsible and impactful business news reporting has become a vital part of the media scene as it helps maintain transparency, promotes informed decision-making, and assists industrial growth. Its role as a watchdog allows it to expose fraudulent activities and ensure corporate accountability. It empowers investors by providing information about various industries, global trends, and market shifts.

In addition to providing relevant economic insights, business news channels inform consumers about the effects of new government policies and regulations on businesses. They provide details on mergers and acquisitions, analyze industry performance, and report on current market trends. Additionally, they help consumers understand complex financial jargon and make data-driven decisions. By focusing on consumer needs and providing engaging short-form content, business news channels are expanding their reach and achieving high engagement rates.
