About Trending
Breaking news is a news event that warrants immediate or urgent coverage, often requiring a station or network to interrupt regular programming (often with the phrase “stand by for breaking news” being used) to cover the event. During such breaks, the lower thirds and other graphics may be altered to convey a sense of urgency. Before the existence of 24-hour news channels, such breaks were typically reserved for extremely important events requiring nationwide coverage, such as the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1963, which prompted all stations to interrupt their non-news programming. Breaking news is also known as a Newsflash or Special Report.
