A neologism which refers to the media tendency to merge information with entertainment. The term was first conceived with a negative connotation as the “seriousness” of journalism is seen as contaminated with the market-driven logic of entertaining the audience. Nowadays, however, different websites define themselves as “infotainers” with a specificity in the functions and services provided.
