overcoverage
Insurance beyond need
Overcoverage is excessive or disproportionate media attention given to a story, topic, or person: The overcoverage of celebrity scandals crowds out serious news.
The term implies editorial judgment gone wrong—too many resources devoted to something that doesn't warrant it.
In insurance contexts, overcoverage means carrying more insurance than necessary for the value of what's protected.
