Trending is a feature on Current News that talks about what topics are currently popular and trending across our platform. The article is usually based on the most viewed and shared articles from across our website.
Breaking news is a television or radio report of breaking, rapidly developing events that require immediate attention and coverage. Breaking news reports are typically inserted into regular programming (either nationally broadcast network or local station) via cut-ins, alert crawls, or special breaking news bulletins. If the event is of sufficient importance, the national newscast may pause its normal countdown sequence and a special alert will be issued to all affiliated stations to interrupt their regular programming for the network feed.
