Trending is a feature on Current News that talks about what stories are currently hot. The article is written by the journalists at the channel and is not influenced by external parties.
Breaking news is an urgent piece of news that requires immediate coverage, interrupting regularly scheduled television or radio programming (or, in the case of a 24-hour news network, live on-air interruption). Breaking news events are often accompanied by a special opening graphic and a distinctive music cue, and may feature a countdown to allow network affiliates to join the feed. Depending on the severity of the event, lower thirds and other graphics may also be altered to convey an atmosphere of urgency.
