Trending is a news segment that highlights topics of interest. It is often presented in the form of a graphic and/or text crawl, appearing during regular programming or even at times during live newscasts. The emergence of 24-hour news networks have led to this type of interruptive reporting being very common, though prior to the advent of these new channels it was typically reserved for extremely urgent news events such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which required nationwide coverage and caused several stations to break away from their regular broadcasts. This type of report is also referred to as a Newsflash or Special Report.
NPR’s Trending looks at the stories that are making headlines this week. February 23, 2026. * A man with Tourette syndrome shouts racial slurs and offensive remarks at a BAFTA awards ceremony.
