meme (/miːm/) or (meem) - noun,
a cultural item that is transmitted by repetition in a manner analogous to the biological transmission of genes.
This is the coolest concept I have heard of in a long time. It is seemingly too broad for a word, but having a word allows for easy exploration into this phenomenon. The word meme could come in handy in my blog's musings when tracking various things. How information spreads and is eventually covered by the media. How different types of media cover information differently. How information spreads from media producers to the public. How the public interprets and transmits information they receive from the media.
I will use this term and give an example of it in a future blogpost!
