Trending is a section of the News Feed that allows users to see what’s currently popular. Each Trending item will have a brief description.
Breaking news is urgent coverage of current events that requires immediate attention and a break in regular programming. Such interruptions of non-news programs were rare until the advent of 24-hour cable and satellite news networks, when they became commonplace for major national events such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy and other tragedies. Often, the network will alert all of its affiliated stations to stand by and then cut to a special graphic with distinctive music that announces the breaking news.
