lifestylization 

the process by which a newspaper of note descends into the bowels of tabloid sensationalism or glossy-magazine frivolity, through the replacement of serious news by "lifestyle" features.

The New York Times was a great paper before lifestylization replaced the real journalism with page after page of celebrity gossip, wealth worship, and interior decorating tips.
