Trending is a segment on Current News that talks about what stories are currently grabbing the attention of viewers. Generally, the segments are short and may include a summary of the story as well as video footage or a live feed from the scene if applicable. When breaking news occurs, the segment will typically interrupt regular programming to deliver the report. Depending on the event, stations will often use a newsflash or special report graphic, and lower thirds may be changed to convey a sense of urgency. Until the advent of 24-hour news channels, such interruptions were generally reserved for events deemed to be of an extremely high importance, such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, which prompted a nationwide outpouring of coverage requiring many local and network affiliates to break away from regular programming to deliver the report via cut-ins.
