A Dash of Info: Yellow Journalism explores the sensationalist newspaper wars of the late 19th century, where Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst used exaggerated headlines and dramatic storytelling to captivate readers. From the origins of the term in The Yellow Kid comic strip to its role in fueling the Spanish-American War, this piece delves into how yellow journalism shaped media history. It also examines its modern impact on social media, where clickbait, misinformation, and over-dramatization continue to influence public perception. Stay informed—don’t fall for the hype!
