Trending is a news report that talks about the most popular topics of current interest. Often, these are stories that are being discussed on social media or have recently been in the headlines. This type of report can also be known as a newsflash or special report, or as a cut-in on network affiliates. It is commonly used during breaking news events, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which required nationwide coverage and the interruption of non-news programming. In recent years, breaking news has sometimes been featured in the form of a ticker during network newscasts, reducing the need for cut-ins.
