Trending is a section of Current News that talks about what’s hot on social media and other popular topics. Usually this includes videos and articles that are popular on Twitter or other popular platforms. In addition to talking about trends, it also talks about the latest news and what’s going on around the world. Occasionally it may even include news stories about celebrities or popular events. Breaking news is an announcement of a current event that necessitates the immediate interruption of non-news programming, or in some cases, regularly scheduled newscasts. The event must be significant enough to warrant nationwide coverage and require stations to interrupt their regular schedules, or in the case of a national network, their feeds to affiliates. A countdown sequence will often precede the newsflash or special report, to allow affiliated stations to join the feed at a reasonable time frame.
