Trending is a news story that has been seen or clicked on by a large number of people. It may be an article, video or image.
Breaking news is a term used in television and radio to describe an event that is deemed so urgent as to require an immediate interruption of normal non-news programming, or in some cases even regular scheduled network newscasts, in order to provide coverage of the development. When this occurs, the network will usually notify its affiliates to “stand by,” and will begin a countdown sequence that will enable stations to join their feed at the appropriate time.
