Trending is a feature on Current News that talks about the top stories currently trending on social media. The feature is a way to give viewers a quick and easy view into what is hot right now. This is similar to the Trending Now feature on Twitter.

Breaking news is an urgent breaking event that requires the interruption of non-news programming (or, in the case of network newscasts, a pause to allow affiliate stations to switch over to the network feed). Breaking news coverage is often called a Newsflash or Special report, and may include a distinctive music cue. Until the rise of 24-hour news networks, such breaks were generally reserved for events that required immediate and widespread coverage, such as the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
