Following the deal between breaking news Twitter channel @BreakingNews and MSNBC.com, Sky News has launched a new Twitter account for its own breaking news tweets – @SkyNewsBreak.

“The latest breaking news, as we get it, direct from the Sky News studio,” says the account’s tagline.

According to various tweets from the team involved, the account will tweet breaking news updates before they appear on the Sky News site.
