Research: Yellow Journalism
For my research, I chose to
explore the sensational journalism practices of the 1890s. Such journalism
spawned writers like William Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. Yellow journalism,
as the type of writing would later be called, focussed on creating news and
embellishing stories. These stories, therefore, were sometimes inacurate and
biased. One of the clearest exaples of this writing occured during the Spanish-American
War. The linked information below will direct you to my research and websites
that have more information regarding this topic.
