What is "yellow journalism"?

Yellow journalism refers to a style of reporting that focuses on excitement, exaggeration, and dramatic headlines to attract attention and sell more newspapers or attract viewers. It often prioritizes shocking or scandalous stories, sometimes at the expense of accuracy or fairness. This type of journalism tends to emphasize emotional responses over factual reporting, with the goal of stirring up public interest or controversy. Yellow journalism was especially common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, though elements of it can still be found in some modern media.
