The term “Grubb Street Journalism” comes to mind when discussing recent trends of American journalism.

Note: I do not at reporting as that is totally different from journalism. Reporting is almost dead in the USA.

I have never heard that term so I did a search and found this in Wikipedia

The Grub-Street Journal, published from January 8, 1730 to 1738, was a satire on popular journalism and hack-writing as it was conducted in Grub Street in London. It was largely edited by Richard Russell and the botanist John Martyn. While he disclaimed it, Alexander Pope was one of its contributors, continuing his satire which he had started with The Dunciad

After its end, The Literary Courier of Gruber Street succeeded it for a few months.[
