Trending

The term “trending” is used by the Current News team to highlight a range of stories that are being discussed on NPR. These stories may have been breaking the previous day, or they could be gaining in popularity online and on social media. Generally, these stories aren’t considered newsworthy enough to interrupt regular programming (although this can sometimes occur when a story is especially urgent). This is often done on national network newscasts, with the pause allowing affiliate stations to join the feed. The break is accompanied by an opening graphic and distinctive newsflash music cue, and lower thirds are usually altered to indicate the urgency of the report.

This week, NPR examines a number of developing stories:

* Fifteen years after its collapse, Cuba is still on the edge of total collapse. How that happened and what might happen next.
* Drones are cheaper than missiles, easy to mass-produce, and can travel long distances — they’re changing the way wars are fought. We talk to NPR correspondents about how this new strategy is playing out in the Middle East and elsewhere.
