Trending is a special segment of Current News that highlights the most popular stories of the day. The segments are presented by the Trending team and are chosen based on viewer demand, social media engagement and the impact of the story.

Breaking News is news coverage of events that occur so rapidly and with such significance that they require immediate broadcast. When a breaking event occurs, network affiliates are alerted to the fact that their regular non-news programming will be interrupted and must immediately prepare to switch over to a live feed from the network. The interruption may last only a few minutes or, as with the assassination of John F. Kennedy, it may continue for hours or even days. Breaking news reports are often accompanied by a special graphics package and a distinctive music cue that differentiates them from standard station imaging promos and program reminders.

NBC’s Hallie Jackson takes you to a remote stretch of New Mexico to uncover fresh questions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, and why the FBI didn’t search it sooner. Plus, Joe Rogan breaks down the President’s decision to fast-track research into psychedelic therapies like Ibogaine.
