These timings permit editors and news directors to feature the material obtained at the news conference on noon newscasts and in afternoon/early evening editions. News conferences scheduled for the afternoon run the risk of being overtaken by fast-breaking stories. 1, record 2, English, - fast%2Dbreaking%20story
