About Trending
Breaking news is a news story of immediate public importance that necessitates the interruption of normal non-news programming (or in some cases, regular network newscasts). Such coverage may take the form of an alert crawl during regular programming, or a special graphic and distinctive music cue for a breaking newsflash. The latter is the most common method, especially since the advent of 24-hour news channels. Before that, such interrupts were typically reserved for events requiring nationwide coverage – like the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, or severe weather events requiring stations to run cut-ins from their local weather forecasters.
