Trending is a news segment that highlights topics currently trending on social media. This is often shown at the end of regular newscasts on cable and broadcast television, and is used by local TV stations as a way to give their viewers a quick update of what is going on in the world that they should be aware of. It is also a common feature of the 24-hour news network and is commonly called Newsflash or Special report, though some networks have started to use the term Breaking news to distinguish it from other types of breaking news stories. During breaking news events, the network will usually alert affiliates and ask them to stand by for an interruption of programming.
