Trending is a section of Current News that talks about what people are talking about, sharing and watching. It’s a great way to keep up with what’s going on.
Breaking news is an event or piece of news that requires the interruption of non-news programming (or, for a 24-hour network, regularly scheduled newscasts), often with a countdown sequence to allow local affiliate stations to join the network feed and a distinctive music cue. It may also use a different lower third graphic and color scheme than the regular one, to convey the urgency of the subject matter. Prior to the development of 24-hour news networks, breaks for breaking news were limited to major events that required widespread national coverage, such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
