Service journalism

Not to be confused with Public service journalism.

Service journalism is journalism focused on providing useful information and advice to readers, particularly consumer information.

While public service journalism is about reporting issues that concern citizens and equipping them to form reasoned opinions on matters of shared interest, service journalism is generally consumer-oriented and includes advice, ranging from the serious to the frivolous. Service journalism is "actionable" for the reader and is described as "news you can use".
