Trending is a short segment of a newscast that talks about current events. The segment may include an interview with a subject matter expert. The segment may also be accompanied by a graphic and special music cues. This is a popular segment in the United States and around the world. It is also known as a “Newsflash”, or a “Special Report” on network newscasts. Before 24-hour news channels existed, breaking news events typically interrupted regular programming to air special reports, such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Other examples included severe weather or ongoing war coverage, requiring stations to use cut-ins or alert crawls during regular non-news programming.
