About Trending
When a breaking news story occurs that warrants an immediate interruption of current non-news programming (or, in the case of national network newscasts, a pause and countdown sequence for affiliates to switch over to the network feed), a “Newsflash” or “Special Report” graphic is used. The resulting report typically features an anchor who welcomes viewers to the break, and may include analysis from in-studio or off-site sources. Before 24-hour news networks came into existence, such breaks were usually reserved for extremely urgent, widespread events requiring nationwide coverage, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Newsflashes and special reports are also sometimes used during severe weather events.
