Trending is a feature that highlights articles that are currently popular on Current News. It also provides links to other articles on the website that are based on the same topics.
Breaking news is live television or radio coverage of urgent events such as sudden deaths, natural disasters, or ongoing wars or conflicts. It is often interrupted from regular programming or inserted into ongoing programs (often at the end of commercial breaks). In North America, until the 1990s, broadcasts of breaking news were reserved for severe weather events such as tornadoes, hurricanes, or landfalling tornadoes, which usually required local stations to interrupt their normal programming to report the event through cut-ins or alert crawls during their regularly scheduled programing.
