Churnalism

Churnalism refers to a practice in journalism where reporters recycle or rehash existing news stories, press releases, or information from other sources rather than conducting original reporting. This can lead to a lack of depth and originality in news coverage, as stories may be published with little investigation or confirmation. Churnalism often prioritizes speed and volume over quality, resulting in repetitive and sometimes inaccurate news content. It highlights the challenges faced by traditional media in the digital age, where the demand for quick updates can compromise thorough journalistic standards.
