Infotainment (a portmanteau of information and entertainment),[1] also called soft news as a way to distinguish it from serious journalism or hard news, is a type of media, usually television or online, that provides a combination of information and entertainment.[2] The term may be used disparagingly to devalue infotainment or soft news subjects in favor of more serious hard news subjects.[3][4] Infotainment-based websites and social media apps gained traction due to their focused publishing of infotainment content, e.g. BuzzFeed.[citation needed]
