The over-sensationalizing and dramatizing of tragic events (such as the deaths of former statsmen or cowboy actors), often to a titillating degree, especially when employed in journalistic practice.

2) After Reagan died, the ensuing mournography was so obscene that I almost wished he were still alive.
