Trending is a news segment that focuses on stories currently making headlines and the most popular topics. It’s a great way to keep viewers informed about current events, and can also be used to promote upcoming segments on a network’s newscast. Trending is often referred to by news organizations as a “Newsflash” or “Special Report”. Before the advent of 24-hour television networks, programming interruptions for breaking news events were rare, reserved only for extremely urgent matters such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy or a severe weather event such as a hurricane. When such an event occurs, the broadcaster typically alerts its affiliates that a newscast will begin, and they can then interrupt their regular programming for live coverage.
