Yellow Journalism

Yellow Journalism in terms of five characteristics

  1. Scare headlines in huge print, often of minor news
  2. Lavish use of pictures, or imaginary drawings
  3. Use of faked interviews, misleading headlines, pseudo-science, and a parade of false learning from so-called experts
  4. Emphasis on full-color Sunday supplements, usually with comic strips (which is now normal in the U.S.)
  5. Dramatic sympathy with the "underdog" against the system.
