'''Media fluff''' (or '''media padding''') is the name given to the phenomenon among many [[news]] organisations of giving disproportionate air-time (or in the case of [[newspaper]]s, column space) to news stories that are usually regarded as trivial or inconsequential. Media fluff is most prevalent among 24-hour news television channels, that often find themselves struggling to to fill air-time in a competitive "[[infotainment]]" market.
