Trending is an ongoing news segment that highlights stories that are most popular on Current News. The segment is often accompanied by a short video clip of an event related to the story, or by a newsflash graphic or breaking news ticker. Breaking news is a national event that elicits national coverage and requires the interruption of non-news programming. Historically, breaks for breaking news have been restricted to very urgent events such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, or severe weather events such as tornado warnings. In recent years, however, 24-hour news networks have adapted the use of breaking news feeds for certain breaking stories during their regular newscasts, lessening the need for station affiliate cut-ins.
