It’s a battle based on science fiction but grounded in reality. NBC News’ George Solis gets an inside look into the competitive world of saber combat.
Trending is a feature of Current News that talks about topics that are trending online. The feature is curated by the editors of CNN. Trending appears in the middle of the screen, right below the Breaking News headline. The feature is accompanied by a special music cue and a graphic that conveys urgency. Historically, breaking news events have interrupted regular programming, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which required nationwide coverage and a need to interrupt many stations’ non-news programs. Today, 24-hour news channels use scrolling tickers and other graphics during regularly scheduled programming, lessening the need for cut-ins.
