Trending is a news segment that reports on topics that are currently trending on social media. The segments usually feature one or more topics that have risen in popularity, and often use charts, infographics, or video footage to highlight the trends. Typically, the segment is presented by a news anchor or other member of the news team, and may be accompanied by a distinctive theme song or other audio cues to distinguish it from regular programming. Breaking news is an event that elicits urgent, national-level coverage and requires the network or its affiliates to interrupt regular programming and air a special report.
