Sludgenews

"Stories about women who claim to have borne a son to Emperor Palpatine. Stories that there never was a New Republic/Imperial war, that it was all cooked up to foster wartime productivity and profit the starfigther manufacturers. Stories claiming that Darth Vader is still alive, about to lead a revolt to reinstitute the Empire. That sort of thing."

- Tycho Celchu

Description
"Sludgenews" is the term for shallow low-grade "news," which follows celebritie's and documents their secret lives for the public to see, published wild stories, and other unreliable petty entertainment. The journalists who make it have to be adept at being sneaky and subtle, to get access to private information.

Sludgenews is remarkably comprable to what we would consider the tabloids.
