Spanish term

placa roja

Spanish to English Other Media / Multimedia
THis is the sort of whole screen caption used on cronica television in Argentina, but I am looking for a generic term for bold TV news headlines
“La placa roja trabaja con la esperanza de que algún día la historia la recuerde. Testigo molesta de la democracia, titula para sobrevivir: viaja adentro, a la zona cero de la comedia y la tragedia, a lo pendiente, lo posible y lo que el pueblo sabe por viejo. Una placa roja nunca se equivoca, ni siquiera cuando se equivoca: todo lo que dice es impronunciable por fuera de sí misma", escribió Facundo Pedrini, autor de Argentina: una historia en placas (2016) y director de Crónica TV.
It is more than a caption
