Lexicon of Politics

Wolf-pack Journalism n. the obsessive coverage of the same stories by competing media.


1997 Allentown Morning Call (Pa.) (Jan. 12) F4:
Newspaper reporters don't like the wolf-pack journalism we often see on TV - a mob of reporters swarming people, poking microphones into their faces and screaming questions at them. Its rude, undignified and often counter productive.

2001 Los Angeles Time (Nov. 3) B23:
Wolfpack journalism has taken our attention away from serious issues happening in our own backyard, and we will seriously regret the consequences of our misdirected attention.
