 New media has led to the rise of infotainment use in our media delivery landscape. Infotainment (also known as entertainment education or edutainment) refers to media content that uses entertainment methods to spread information. Its purpose is to educate audiences on a variety of topics in an enjoyable form that is more engaging than traditional instructional methods. Information is presented to audiences in a way that is easy to understand through storytelling, humor, visuals, and dramatic methods that maintain viewer interest. This style can be seen in television, documentaries, video games, podcasts, online videos, social media, graphic novels, and other various media.
