Pseudo-Event

A pseudo-event is an event that is created primarily for the purpose of generating media coverage and public interest, rather than occurring naturally or spontaneously. These events are often staged or planned to attract attention, such as press conferences, celebrity appearances, or product launches. They are designed to provoke a specific response or narrative in the media, influencing public perception. Unlike real news, pseudo-events focus more on spectacle than substance, often prioritizing entertainment or marketing over genuine newsworthiness.
