Trending is a section of the website that talks about things that are currently making headlines and grabbing people’s attention. It covers a wide range of topics, from popular culture to social issues and politics. It’s a great way to keep up with what is going on in the world today.
Breaking news is a news event that warrants the interruption of non-news programming, or in some cases regular, regularly scheduled newscasts. The broadcaster will typically alert all affiliated stations, telling them to stand by for the interrupt, and then launch a special live report. The report may last only minutes, or could continue for hours and days.
