Italian term or phrase: costume
In a survey of various television and radio programs, there is the following description "Trasmissione di attualità e costume".

Is this 'news and current events programs'?

I don't think it relates to fashion. The name of the one of the radio programs with this description is "Oggi e domani".

MTIA.
