About Trending
A breaking news story is a news event that warrants immediate and widespread coverage, such as a terrorist attack or a natural disaster. Breaking news events often interrupt regular programming for extended, live reporting. If the story is deemed to be of significant importance, networks may interrupt network programming and use countdown sequences to allow affiliates to switch to the breaking news feed. In addition, a special graphic is displayed on the screen, often overlaid with a distinctive music cue and an accompanying news anchor to announce the story. This type of report is also referred to as a newsflash or special report.
