Trending is a feature that highlights some of the most popular stories on Current News. It’s often used to introduce breaking news events, and it is a common feature on 24-hour news channels. Before television and radio news networks were available on a 24/7 basis, breaking news events would require them to interrupt regular programming. This was done by broadcasting a newsflash or special report, which usually consisted of a graphic with a distinctive music cue and a countdown to allow network affiliates to switch over to the new feed. Depending on the importance of the event, it could result in a complete interruption of regular programming.
On this week’s Trending, the latest on a deadly drug outbreak, the alleged rape of Dolores Huerta by labor leader Cesar Chavez, and the death of Utah woman Kouri Richins, who was convicted of fatally spiking her husband’s drink with fentanyl in 2022. Plus, how unmanned drones that are cheaper than missiles and easy to produce are reshaping conflicts across the world.
