Parachute journalism
Parachute journalism refers to the practice of reporting stories by journalists inexperienced with the context or cultures of a story, often resulting in inaccurate or distorted news reports. As opposed to foreign correspondents who might live in the locale, news organizations with reduced budgets will send (metaphorically by "parachute") general assignment reporters into unfamiliar areas.
