Infotainment is “information-based media content or programming that also includes entertainment content in an effort to enhance popularity with audiences and consumers.” [1] It is a neologistic portmanteau of information and entertainment, referring to a type of media which provides a combination of information and entertainment. According to many dictionaries [2] infotainment is always television, and the term is “mainly disapproving.”[3] However, many self-described infotainment websites exist, which provide a variety of functions and services.
