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.

Get the churnalism mug.The act or practice of keeping one in suspense, especially with erotic undertones.
A stripper would be a “chiralist”, for example. The Japanese “panty shot” is probably the best example of why this term comes to us from the land of the rising sun. The word itself, though, is of unknown origin. It appears in the song D-City Rock by Teddyloid from the Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt soundtrack.
The word 'tease' is also similar to chiralism, but does not fully encompass the idea; chiralism is not always intentional.

Get the carnalismo mug.Chyronalism (chyron + journalism) happens when news media fact-checks lying asshole fuckfaces like Donald Trump in on-screen graphics. "Chyronalism" has taken the place of actual journalism since profit-driven news media is all about access and ratings. They DGAF about confronting lying politicians to their faces, so they fact-check in the chyron.
Brindy was in the CNN production room during a live broadcast when she committed an act of Chyronalism; from a quick Google search she found Donald Trump to be a lying shitbird and corrected him on-screen in the chyron.

Get the Chyronalism mug.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.
