If you visit CNN online, you'll see a big alert box at the top of the page with either a developing or breaking news story. This box features a Twitter-like blurb informing readers about an important story currently in the news.
This box updates itself if more important things happen to take place. At the top right, there is a small exit circle, which allows one to close the box if one wishes to not see it anymore.
I found this feature very unique, as it is aimed at showing readers what could be considered the most important event at the moment. Since it's at the top of the page and in a box for itself, it doesn't distract or take away from any of the other headlines, features on the site.
