Trending is a news story that is popular on social media. Trending stories are selected by a news team based on factors such as page views, shares and comments. These stories are then featured on the Trending section of the homepage. Occasionally, breaking news may require a station or network to interrupt regular programming for extended coverage. This may be done through a special ticker, a graphic or a cut-in that replaces the lower third on the screen. This type of breaking news is usually related to severe weather or national events that require immediate and nationwide coverage. Breaking news used to be rare, but has become more common as 24-hour news networks have gained popularity.
