Trending is the latest news and information on what’s going on at Current News. It’s the place to go for up-to-the-minute stories that are trending on Twitter and in the media.
Breaking news is an event of a time-critical nature that requires the interruption of non-news programming (or, in some cases, regularly scheduled network newscasts). This type of coverage may be referred to as a “Newsflash” or “Special Report”. Before 24-hour news networks existed, breaking news was generally reserved for a very severe event that warranted nationwide coverage, such as the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. During these reports, station identifications are usually replaced by a countdown sequence followed by the national news feed.
