Trending is the term used when a breaking news event has a widespread impact on the nation or the world. Traditionally, when a news event of this kind occurs, the network interrupts non-news programs (or, in the case of national network newscasts, the current program is paused briefly, to allow affiliate stations to switch over to the network feed), and then airs a special report with a distinct opening graphic, accompanied by a distinctive music cue. Often, the lower thirds of graphics are altered to convey a sense of urgency. This was most common when covering events such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, but is less necessary now with 24-hour news channels.
