ABC News’ Danny New reports on Chesney the kangaroo’s leap out of a petting zoo, where he scaled an eight foot fence after two hunting dogs entered the property.
Trending is a breaking news story about current events that has the potential to impact viewers’ lives. Typically, it is the type of story that warrants an interruption of non-news programming (or in some cases, regularly scheduled network newscasts). Breaking News is often accompanied by special graphics and a distinctive music cue. Depending on the urgency and extent of the event, a Breaking News Report may run for a few minutes or last several hours or even days. Often, the network will alert all its affiliates ahead of time to expect an interruption to their stations’ local programming. During the report, station identification is often overlaid on the lower thirds.
