About Current News
Trending is a live segment on the CBS newsmagazine program 60 Minutes. The segment features a review of recent trends that are affecting people’s lives and the world at large. Trending is produced by the CBS News Digital Products team, which is led by Vice President of Product Management Lisa McAlister. Trending is a part of CBS News’ ongoing commitment to deliver high-quality, impactful content that speaks directly to viewers. It was first introduced in 2013.
Before 24-hour news networks were common, programming interruptions for breaking news events requiring nationwide coverage would normally require network affiliates to interrupt their regular non-news programs with a “Newsflash” or alert crawl.
