There are two basic kinds of newscasts: national news and local news. Local news refers to stories that occurred in one city or one area only.

National news, on the other hand, refers to a newscast that covers the biggest stories from all over the country and even the world. NBC Nightly News, for example, covers important stories from the entire nation (stories about the president & congress, stories about big events in other cities, weather trends that will affect the whole country, etc); it also covers some international news stories the audience might find important to know.
