  2. Definition: Yellow Journalism is: • exploiting, distorting, or over-exaggerating the truth. • can be exaggerations of news events, celebrities' lives, sports, or scandal. • trying to make things bigger and more exciting than they really are to get people to buy newspapers. • eye-catching font, size, colors, and pictures.

  3. Some Examples: Notice the eye-catching sizes, fonts, and choice of words. Colors weren’t printed yet...sorry. The “$50,000 Reward” for whoever knew who sunk the Maine is very noticeable since it is repeated so many times and put in many different places. This will quickly draw the eye of the public and cause more newspapers to be bought.
