saturation coverage

Saturation coverage is when every news show and news update, on every channel, all cover the same issue. Repeatedly. Until you could probably quote it.

Note, though, that saturation coverage is distinct from disasterporn in that it isn't limited to disasters.

The Sydney sandstorm was saturation coverage in Australia, being a major event.
