Trending is the term used to talk about current news that is gaining popularity on social media. The term is usually accompanied by a countdown graphic and distinctive music cues, and may interrupt regular non-news programming or a live network newscast (if one is in progress), with a message for network affiliates to standby. Depending on the severity of the event and the amount of coverage required, a network may also interrupt current commercial advertising and suspend regular newscasts entirely for extended breaking news coverage. Previously, these interruptions were limited to exceptionally urgent events, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, or to recurring breaking news events such as severe weather.
