VOCAB: Yellow Journalism - sensational, exaggerated news stories
"Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst were in a fierce competition for readers. In the late 1890s their newspapers published stories from Cuba, where Cuban rebels were fighting for independence from Spain. To attract readers, Pulitzer and Hearst printed sensational, often exaggerated news stories. This technique is called yellow journalism. Vivid stories about Spanish brutality in Cuba convinced many Americans that the U.S. military should support Cuban rebels." (Deverell & White 117)
