Trending talks about what is currently happening in the world of News.
Breaking news is a television or radio news event that warrants an interruption of current non-news programming (or in the case of network affiliates, their regular scheduled newscasts). Such breaks are typically used for events that are deemed highly urgent and worthy of national coverage such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, or severe weather events such as tornado warnings. In some cases, these reports can extend for hours or even days, and are often referred to as a “Newsflash” or “Special report.” Depending on the severity of the story, network affiliates will usually insert their own station identification in over the top of this news coverage.
