what do you mean by special report?

please give me a specific definition about that.

Public Comments

1. That's somewhat general, but if you are refering to someone saying something like, "Thanks for the special report, Bill." or something similar, it is likely sarcastic and comes from TV media. When there is a late breaking news story that the public needs to be aware of immediately, a newscaster will come on and interupt the program you are watching, with a "Special Report." So sarcastically, it's a way of saying "Thanks for interupting my day with news I didn't need to know or care about." In general terms, Special Report is just that, a report that is in some way special. The people need to know about it, and they need to know about it immediately. News you need to know and should care about.
