Trending is a breaking news story that has gained traction on social media. The term “trending” was first coined in 2010. The concept of trending news stories is not new, and it has been used for decades by television networks to interrupt non-news programming to cover events that require immediate coverage. This type of report is also known as a Newsflash, Special Report, or an Alert crawl (in North America). Prior to the advent of 24-hour news channels, interruptions of regular programming were limited to national emergencies such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy or other national tragedies, and were often accompanied by special graphic designs and distinctive music cues.
