About this Article
Trending is a segment on Current News that talks about what’s going viral online. Typically, it will be about some social issue or celebrity-related stories. The segment usually starts with an opening graphic and a distinctive music cue. Then, the news anchor will take over to talk about the topic at hand. If the news event is severe enough, a national network will usually alert its affiliate stations to interrupt their regular programming to cover the story live; this was once commonplace for breaking events such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and is now used on some 24-hour news networks.
