Trending is a feature that highlights news stories in the process of breaking. It covers topics ranging from natural disasters and major accidents to political events and significant social issues. It differs from regular news reporting in that it prioritizes urgency and immediacy, often requiring journalists to report on the event as it unfolds instead of following a pre-determined schedule. It also entails the use of real-time updates and eyewitness accounts from social media, and poses challenges related to ensuring accuracy and avoiding sensationalism. Examine the role of breaking news in shaping public opinion and the ethical considerations it brings with it for journalists.
