Parachute journalism refers to the practice of sending journalists into unfamiliar areas to report on a story in which they have little prior knowledge or expertise. This approach, often used during breaking news events, can lead to inaccurate or distorted reporting due to the journalist's lack of familiarity with the topic, tight deadlines, and reliance on external sources.
