Yellow who? Yellow you!
An example of yellow journalism would be when Swine Flu was all over the newspapers. There was headings on the newspapers that caught peoples eyes basically saying how many people are currently dying from it. They exaggerated a lot, when come to find out that right away they found a cure. Yeah, you can die from it but the amount of people they said that caught it, and also how easy it is to catch it is ridiculous. Yellow Journalism is in many other newspapers like back when the Spanish American War was going on, they talked about Cuba just to sell their stories. The tales they told got people in high positions just by writing about Cubans, but by writing these stories, people did buy it, because it caught their eyes.
