Yellow Journalism

yellow journalism has always been a major way to spread news during the early 1900's, but even today it is being used, such as the swine flew fiasco. it was a major exaggeration of how deadly this new sickness was. in all approximately 600 people died and a little over 44,000 people had recieved it. The yellow journalism was used in World War I in order to get the United states involved. when the USS Maine 'sank' it struck the U.S. into action. the articles are only for creating drama and making quarrels begin.
