Trending is a weekly segment on Current News that talks about topics that are making headlines, often in a particular region or country. For example, the economy has been a topic of interest in the wake of the Fed’s decision to raise rates. Also in the news are the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, a U.S. military move in the Strait of Hormuz, and allegations against a renowned labor leader who abused children.
When a breaking story occurs that is important enough to interrupt non-news programming or regular newscasts, it will usually be covered through a special report called a newsflash or a special report. Depending on the severity of the event, stations may interrupt regular commercial advertising to continue coverage. During breaking news reports, station IDs are overlaid during the top of the hour and lower thirds may be altered to create a sense of urgency.
