Trending is a breaking news section of the website that talks about what’s happening in the world and on social media. Typically, this is a short news segment that may be accompanied by video footage of the event or a short interview with a relevant expert. This segment is a staple of most news programs. Breaking news is often interrupted by network affiliates during regular programming, although this was a rare occurrence before 24-hour news networks existed and was reserved for events that required nationwide coverage and the need to interrupt multiple stations simultaneously. This type of break is also known as a news flash or special report.
