Trending is our weekly look at stories that are gaining momentum in the media. Whether it’s the latest allegations against a renowned labor leader or new data on opioid abuse, these stories are getting attention from reporters and news outlets around the country.
Breaking news is an event or series of events that requires an immediate and sustained interruption of normal non-news programming (or, in the case of a national network, their regularly scheduled newscast). If the story warrants a significant interruption, the station usually alerts affiliates and viewers with a special “Newsflash” or “Special Report” ticker. Some networks also have a full-time breaking news anchor, who can interrupt regular programming at any time for live coverage. Depending on the urgency of the event, lower thirds and other graphics may be altered to convey a sense of immediacy. These methods replace the traditional use of cut-ins during regular programming and, before 24-hour news networks existed, were reserved for severe weather or emergency situations requiring urgent reporting, such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
