churnalism
Term coined by author Nick Davies to describe poor practices of modern day journalists who "churn" or recycle news stories off the wire or internet without appropriate critical investigation.
Where once journalists were seen travelling out and about in the search for facts, a large majority are now, literally, chained to their desks waiting for the next major scoop; eager to be the first to report on the topic and thus draw traffic to their news sites... this is churnalism.

churnalist
A reporter closely resembling journalist, writing articles which generally add nothing behind the headline. His or her object is usually to be simplistic, support a narrative, and/or generate clicks, therefore detailed analysis and critical reporting are abandoned for generalities. Individuals engaging in this behavior produce churnalism. They can produce 5 times the amount of articles as a traditional journalists.
A churnalist can always make a story out of speculation, rumours, and intrigue.
You need to shorten that article, you've reached your churnalistic limit.
You know if you are a churnalist you don't have to research your subjects, you can simply regurgitate the State Department news releases. Like so, "According to the State Department..."
I hear they are hiring churnalists to publish Trump and Russia connections. You should apply.
