Croatian term or phrase: estradizacija
Medijska reprezentacija kulturnih sadržaja u procesu preoblikovanja prolazi kroz tri faze,

od izrazite političke obojenosti u kojoj dominiraju modeli političke

manipulacije kulturnim sadržajima, sotonizacije pojedinca i govora mržnje, do

trivijalizacije, estradizacije i spektakularizacije, gdje se koriste novi mehanizmi

reprezentacije, kao što su strategija skandala, intimnih ispovijesti i top lista,

te "medijska inscenacija (teatralizacija) zbilje" i "proizvodnja pseudodogađaja",

kojima se stvarnost prilagođava medijskim pravilima te uspostavlja "kultura

virtualne stvarnosti".

launch on the entertainment scene


Explanation:
ako se uzme najčeće značenje riječi 'estrada' za ono čime se bave glazbenici, što se na toj sceni zbiva itd. kao u:

Florida Entertainment Scene on Myspace's profile on Myspace, the leading social entertainment destination powered by the passion of our fans...

no imam zadršku zbog mogućeg arbitratnog značenja te riječi za autora teksta, u kojemu se ne zna zapravo na što se odnosi - govori o kulturniim sadržajima, ali možda su i osobe podlžne "estradiziraciji"

agree  PoveyTrans (X): the idiomatic option // to my ear this option insinuates the slightly negative sense that Mark's option also alludes to.

reducing to the level of showbusiness


Explanation:
Agree with someone's comment that this will only work if the structure of the sentence is significantly changed so that you can arrive at something like below.

(oh, just realised the other commenter wasn't talking about that, but anyway, I still suggest a significant change to the structure so that you can use participles instead of these complicated nouns like "spektakularizacija")

Example sentence(s):
  • trivialising it and reducing it to the level of showbusiness and spectacle
