Trending is a section of Current News that talks about the current events that are causing a lot of buzz. The articles that are featured in this section usually include a video clip or picture of the story and an article that talks about why the event is being discussed so much and how it may impact us. If the article is a breaking news event, it is often interrupted by a countdown sequence on national network newscasts and a special alert for local affiliates to switch to the network feed. This is known as a “Newsflash” or a “Special Report”.

Breaking news usually requires interruptions of non-news programming and occasionally even regular, scheduled newscasts (for example the assassination of John F. Kennedy).
