Trending is a type of news story that is popular on social media. It may be a current event or a story that has received a lot of attention in the past. Trending can be reported by any news source, from local to global. It is also known as a Breaking News.
Breaking news is a type of television and radio coverage that provides timely updates on significant current events. It usually requires an interruption of regular programming and is normally accompanied by an audio alert. Breaking news used to be restricted to highly urgent news events, such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, but this has now become common practice on 24-hour news networks with live breaking news anchors.
