Trending is a term used on news programs to indicate that a story is currently of particular interest or importance. This may involve a particular issue, such as severe weather or war, or a particular person of interest, such as the President of the United States or a celebrity. Often, an event of this nature will cause the national networks to interrupt their regularly scheduled programming or the programming of local affiliates, in order to provide live coverage and analysis of the situation. This is also known as a newsflash or special report. This practice was once limited to extreme events, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, but is now a regular feature of 24-hour news networks.
