Yellow Journalism Journalism that exploits, distorts, or exaggerates the news to create sensations and attract readers. Can you think of any examples of this in the world today?

Joseph Pulitzer vs. William Randolph Hearst Competed to print the most ghastly stories about the Spanish atrocities Hearst quote: “You supply the pictures. I’ll supply the war.”

Remember the Maine At 9:40pm on February 15, 1898, the battleship U.S.S. Maine exploded in Havana Harbor 268 men were killed, shocking the American population What or who caused this explosion?

Awake United States! This song was rushed into print between the sinking of the Maine on February 16, 1898 and the declaration of war on April 25, Eagle soar on high, and sound the battle cry! How proudly sailed the warship Maine, a Nation ’ s pride, without a stain! A wreck she lies, her sailors slain. By two-faced butchers, paid by Spain! Eagle soar on high, And sound the battle cry Wave the starry flag! In mud it shall not drag!
