Trending is a feature that shows what’s currently getting the most attention on social media and other platforms. It’s a great way to keep up with what’s happening now.
Breaking news is live coverage of an event that warrants immediate, ongoing and widespread public interest or is otherwise urgent. This type of event typically interrupts non-news programming or, in the case of a national network newscast, will pause to allow affiliate stations to switch over to the network feed. In the days before 24-hour news channels, networks would use cut-ins or a special ticker to alert viewers to breaking news stories, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy or a severe weather event.
