Trending talks about the latest News on Current events and news going viral.
Breaking news is news that occurs in the midst of live television programming that entails an event of such urgency that it warrants a temporary interruption of normal non-news programming or, in the case of network newscasts, to temporarily suspend the regular broadcast. The announcement of breaking news is usually made through a graphic that includes an audio cue, or, in the case of national network affiliates, through a countdown sequence. The graphic may be overlaid with a special background and lower thirds, to convey a sense of urgency.
