1. Yellow journalism

   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 for increased sales. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism. By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion.In English, the term is chiefly used in the U.S. In the UK, a roughly equivalent term is tabloid journalism, meaning journalism characteristic of tabloid newspapers, even if found elsewhere. Other languages, e.g. Russian (Жёлтая пресса), sometimes have terms derived from the American term. A common source of such writing is called checkbook journalism, which is the controversial practice of news reporters paying sources for their information without verifying its truth or accuracy. In some countries it is considered unethical by mainstream media outlets. In contrast, tabloid newspapers and tabloid television shows, which rely more on sensationalism, regularly engage in the practice.

   Yellow journalism refers to a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses sensationalism, exaggerations, scandal-mongering, or other unethical or unprofessional techniques to attract readers or viewers. This term was originally coined during the newspaper circulation battles between Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst in the late 19th century. Its purpose is usually to influence public opinion, rather than to inform accurately.

1. Yellow journalism

   Yellow journalism, or the yellow press, is a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism. By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion. Campbell defines yellow press newspapers as having daily multi-column front-page headlines covering a variety of topics, such as sports and scandal, using bold layouts, heavy reliance on unnamed sources, and unabashed self-promotion. The term was extensively used to describe certain major New York City newspapers about 1900 as they battled for circulation. Frank Luther Mott defines yellow journalism in terms of five characteristics: ⁕scare headlines in huge print, often of minor news ⁕lavish use of pictures, or imaginary drawings ⁕use of faked interviews, misleading headlines, pseudoscience, and a parade of false learning from so-called experts ⁕emphasis on full-color Sunday supplements, usually with comic strips
