About Trending
Breaking news is television or radio coverage of an event that has just happened or is still unfolding. This type of coverage usually takes place in a special “breaking news” studio or at least over an overlay on the regular television or radio broadcast. Historically, such reports were reserved for events that elicited nationwide attention and required stations to interrupt regularly scheduled programming, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. Today, 24-hour news networks often use special report tickers to highlight breaking stories during normal programming, lessening the need for cut-ins. Oftentimes, local station identification is overlaid on top of the special report.
