Pink-slime journalism is a practice in which American news outlets, or fake partisan operations masquerading as such, publish poor-quality news reports which appear to be local news.[1] Researchers and media credibility raters have observed pink-slime journalism being used to support Republican Party and Democratic Party politicians or policies.[1][2][3] The use of these websites to gather user data has also been observed.[4][2][5] The reports are either computer-generated or written by poorly-paid outsourced writers, sometimes using pen names.[2][6][7] One network consisting of at least 1,200 local news websites was created by American conservative news businessman Brian Timpone.[2]
The term "pink-slime journalism" was coined by journalist Ryan Smith in 2012.[5]
