Yellow Journalism and Yellow Press are American terms for journalism and associated newspapers that present little or no legitimate well-researched news while instead using eye-catching headlines, exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering or sensationalism, and manipulating story content for sinister motives. It referred originally to the warmongering publications and disinformation by Joseph Pulitzer’s New York Word and William Randolph Hearst’s New York Journal that fueled the outbreak of Spanish-American War (April 21, 1898 – August 13, 1898).
