Trending is the term used by news networks for an overview of the most current topics causing interest. These articles can be found in the top of the screen on the homepage, and are usually accompanied by an image and accompanying headline. Breaking news is a segment of regular non-news programming (or, in some cases, regularly scheduled newscasts) that is interrupted to cover a story of immediate or urgent importance. The interruption of the broadcast is typically announced with a graphic overlay and distinctive music cue, and is often preceded by a countdown sequence to allow network affiliates to join a network feed for coverage.
