Wait, what?

It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s a Missile, It’s a Contrail! Wait, what?

This was one of the biggest news on all the news channels not too long ago. The concept of yellow journalism is to catch the readers attention and exaggerate or lie about their stories. During the Spanish American War yellow journalism was very common and till this day is still is. The journalist that write these articles know how to get the readers attention. They exaggerate the words and add some lies in order to either make it move believeable or to make it more interesting. The headline above is a good example of yellow journalism and how gullible people are. Fox news was one of the main channels to blow this story out of porportion along with many other news channels. Now a days most of these yellow journalism sotries are mostly seen on television, but it doesnt change wether it is on tv or on newspapers. Back then during the Spanish American War this was very popular in society but they did not had tv news to hear these articles from. The exaggerated headlines during that time was used to get more people to buy newspapers. In conclusion till this day and for many years to come yellow journalism will be used among society.
