A pseudo-event is any activity held for the sole purpose of getting media coverage.

  • This term was popularized by historian Daniel J. Boorstin in his 1961 book "The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America." A pseudo-event differs from a genuine event in that it is created specifically to be reported on and to appear as newsworthy, even though it may not have any real significance or news value of its own.
