http://www.WatchMojo.com video on Yellow journalism, a type of journalism that downplays legitimate news in favor of eye-catching headlines that sell more newspapers. Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst were American newspaper publishers who used melodrama, romance, and hyperbole to sell millions of newspapers; a style that became known as yellow journalism.

  • OMG, that exactly what FOX news is all about.

  • VALUE for the reader! what the hell is this guy thinking. Hearst lied continuously in the papers. The reason they still use hearst's methods today is the same reason jersey shore is on, because the mass opinion loves to be amused by bulls**t.

  • great strategy .. thanks for posting .. =)

  • Yellow journalism is an oxymoron.

  • People call me black... Its nothing to take offensive.. Esp. Since I put "JK" as in Just kidding.

  • HEY, JOKE? I DONT FIND IT FUNNY AT ALL(i'm asian) and you call yourself a rastafarian...yeah right

  • Pulitzer made the headlines bigger and moved pictures to the front page. Hearst stole the design from him.

  • Asian Journalism lol jk

  • Yellow Journalism feeds other people's ignorance.

    People develop an appetite for it and want more, so they pay for magazines that feed them more ignorance.

    Then those same people despise education, because it will ruin their appetite and remind them of their ignorance.
