“Yellow Journalism” refers to:

  • (A) Portraying public opinion
  • (B) Objective in reporting
  • (C) Sensationalism
  • (D) Propaganda
The correct answer is (C) Sensationalism. Yellow journalism is when the people who write the news do things that're not right. They make deals out of small things and they do not always tell the truth. The main goal of  journalism is to get people to read the newspaper and buy it even if that means they have to make things sound more interesting than they really are. This can be bad because it can hurt people and it is not fair. Yellow journalism is not good because it does not care about the truth it just wants to sell newspapers. This term originally came about in the late 19th century, particularly in the rivalry between two major newspapers: Joseph Pulitzer's New York World and William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal.
