Yellow journalism is a style of sensationalist, inaccurate, and sometimes slanted newspaper reporting that uses eye-catching headlines and exaggerations to increase sales. The term originated in the late 1800s in New York City, where two rival newspapers, the New York World and the New York Journal, competed for readers.
The term "yellow journalism" may come from the popular comic strip The Yellow Kid, which was first published in the New York World and later in the New York Journal.
Yellow journalism was a major factor in the Spanish-American War, when the sensationalized reporting of the war by newspapers like the New York World and the New York Journal helped sway public opinion in favor of war with Spain.
