Trending is a segment on Current News that talks about the most popular topics on the internet. The segments are usually created by analyzing data from social media like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. It is usually anchored by a news anchor and presented at the top of the hour overlaid with a station identification promo or program reminder. It is a type of breaking news report that interrupts regular non-news programming or, in the case of 24-hour news networks, regularly scheduled live broadcasts. Prior to the development of 24-hour news channels, these interruptions were typically reserved for very urgent news events such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
