I wrote about the #megofactor in newsrooms facing climate news (or biodiversity news, or...) back in 2010 on #dotearth: https://archive.nytimes.com/dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/01/the-mego-factor-and-climate-coverage/

This is the #MEGOfactor incarnate. Mel Mencher at @columbiajourn used this acronym to describe the "my eyes glaze over" look an editor would give when a reporter pitched a story that seemed stale or over-covered. Like a space helmet shield. Impermeable.. 1/2
