Trending is a current event or topic that is popular on Social Media. It is a way for the news to stay current on what the public is talking about. A trending story can be anything from a celebrity to a certain hashtag. It can even be a sports team or a viral video. Trending is usually accompanied by a news anchor and is sometimes used in place of the regular ticker during breaking news events. This is most common on 24-hour news channels, which have anchors available to interrupt programming and lower third graphics may be modified to convey urgency.
