Yellow Journalism Named for the “Yellow Kid,” a popular comic-strip character

Definition: Sensationalized, often exaggerated newspaper coverage designed to…sell newspapers!

In 1898, the two biggest “yellow journalists” were in New York City William Randolph Hearst (The Journal) Joseph Pulitzer (The World)

Hearst realized that sex sells newspapers—as Cubans were fighting for their independence from Spain, he ran this picture—an event that never happened

In fact, the Cuban Revolution was made for yellow journalists! The Cubans looked like the “good guys,” the Spanish like the “bad guys” It reminded us of our own Revolution American businessmen had big investments (sugar, coffee, tobacco) in Cuba

Hearst’s Journal on the Maine disaster

Pulitzer’s World

See what yellow journalism can do for you?

Charlie Chaplin, Cary Grant, Winston Churchill, Howard Hughes, were among his guests—that’s Chaplain on the right
