churnalism

(名詞) 根據外電 (wire story) 和新聞稿 (press release) 而非原始採訪來撰寫新聞的新聞報導方式。這個字是由 churn (攪製) 和 journalism (新聞業；新聞工作；新聞寫作) 拼綴而成。

Last year, I highlighted for MediaGuardian how Northumbria police hold back serious crimes from the media. Meanwhile, the force's £1.5m-a-year corporate communications department pumps out more press releases on falling crime rates, clampdowns, raids, initiatives and other stories designed to produce positive PR. The result, I believe, is that most crime reporting in the north-east is now little more than churnalism.
