This is one of the terms at the Double-Tongued Dictionary site: d-tongued There's a quote for it but it's not defined. What the heck is it, please?

"Specifically, the report found that Americans rely on local TV for information about popular local topics, including weather (89% use TV for this information), breaking news (80%), local politics (67%) and crime (66%). Americans use newspapers for breadth and depth of many more topics, particularly with respect to local government information. Newspapers supply "broccoli journalism" about the least popular topics, including zoning and development information (30%), local social services (35%), job openings (39%) and local government activities (42%). These are topics that other local news institutions don't often deliver."
sounds like news that's good for you but isn't very tasty.

I'm really curious what the broccoli stands for. Journalism should be as independant as it can be.

Yes yes I read it, I did. From the department of the defence of good vegetables: broccoli is a tasty vegetable as long as you dont't simmer and suffocate it.

And if you simmer and suffocate it it isn't good for you any more.
