1. The yellow press today

2. Yellow Journalism To attract readers, Hearst and Pulitzer used yellow journalism (reporting that relied on sensational stories and headlines). Often, these reports were biased or untrue. According to one story, a photographer bound for Cuba stated that there was no war. Hearst replied, “You supply the pictures, I’ll supply the war.”

4. Well, Hullygee, Here’s to you! http://www.pbs.org/crucible/journalism.html The Yellow Kid The Yellow Kid is an American comic strip character that appeared from 1895 to 1898 in Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, and later William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal. Created and drawn by Richard F. Outcault in the comic strip Hogan's Alley.

5. Character Mickey Dugan, better known as The Yellow Kid, was a bald, snaggle-toothed barefoot boy who wore an oversized yellow nightshirt and hung around in a slum alley typical of certain areas of squalor that existed in late 19th-century New York City. Hogan's Alley was filled with equally odd characters, mostly other children. With a goofy grin, the Kid habitually spoke in a ragged, peculiar slang, which was printed on his shirt, a device meant to lampoon advertising billboards.

6. The photograph shows a man standing in front of a brick wall blindfolded and facing a firing squad. The picture was first published in a newspaper during WWI. The caption stated that the man was a captured enemy spy. The real story behind the picture is that the photo was staged. There was a photographer who was overseas in Belgium photographing the war. He had taken many staged shots, this being one of them. Not only was this photo staged, but the photographer was actually posing as the “enemy spy”. Mikey Dugan(Yellow Kid)

7. Publication story The character who would later become the Yellow Kid first appeared on the scene in a minor supporting role in a cartoon panel published in Truth magazine in 1894 and 1895. The four different black-and-white single panel cartoons were deemed popular, and one of them, Fourth Ward Brownies, was reprinted on 17 February 1895 in Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, where Outcault worked as a technical drawing artist. The World published another, newer Hogan's Alley cartoon less than a month later, and this was followed by the strip's first color printing on 5 May 1895.Hogan's Alley gradually became a full-page Sunday color cartoon with the Yellow Kid (who was also appearing several times a week) as its lead character.

8. The New York World The New York World was a newspaper published in New York City from 1860 until 1931. The paper played a major role in the history of American newspapers. It was a leading national voice of the Democratic Party. From 1883 to 1911 under publisher Joseph Pulitzer, it was a pioneer in yellow journalism, capturing readers' attention with sensation, sports, sex and scandal and pushing its daily circulation to the one- million mark. It was sold in 1930 and merged into the New York World-Telegram.

9. Other things about THE WORLD:  Pulitzer ran an editorial page which was his favourite part of newspaper. He was very liberal and wrote editorials on many causes  Showed crime scenes, drawings and photos that were very large to get attention  Ran coupons(a new idea) and held contests.

10. The New York Journal The New York Journal-American was a daily newspaper published in New York City from 1937 to 1966. The Journal-American was the product of a merger between two New York newspapers owned by William Randolph Hearst: The New York American (originally the New York Journal, renamed American in 1901), a morning paper, and the New York Evening Journal, an afternoon paper. Both were published by Hearst from 1895 to 1937. The American and Evening Journal merged in 1937.

11. The yellow press today Yellow journalism today isn't all that different from yellow journalism in the past, though it does seem to be even more prevalent now. While journalism is supposed to focus on factual information presented objectively, yellow journalism is anything but that. The war for clicks and views seems to have created an epidemic of sensationalized headlines that are anything but objective and often not even true (i.e., fake news). Whenever you see sensationalized headlines that scandalize or exaggerate what the content is about, you're seeing an example of yellow journalism.
