Trending is a breaking news story that has recently gained traction. A trending story may be covered for several hours or even days, and the reporting often includes a detailed analysis about the topic. Typically, trending stories are announced through a newsflash, or sometimes a special report. Before 24-hour news networks became popular, a “newsflash” or “special report” would only interrupt regular programming when an urgent event occurred that required immediate coverage (such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy). When a newsflash or special report is interrupted from a national network’s normal newscast, a countdown sequence is used to give affiliated stations time to join the network feed.
