Trending is a news segment that talks about the latest breaking news stories that are trending online. Typically, it is delivered by a news anchor who introduces the topic or issue through an animated graphic or a special report ticker. When a story is breaking, network newscasts will usually pause or interrupt non-news programming (or in some cases regular newscasts) with a countdown and alert. This type of interruption is called a “Newsflash” or a “Special Report”. Prior to the advent of 24-hour news networks, this type of break was reserved for extremely urgent news events such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
