Yellow journalists reported the news sensationally, using exaggerated headlines and dramatic imagery to capture readers' attention. Their goal was to attract a large audience and increase newspaper sales, often at the expense of accuracy or objectivity. They frequently relied on emotional appeals, rumors, and scandalous stories to generate interest in their publications.

How does yellow journalism affects journalists and many people?

Yellow journalism is sensationalist. So, true journalists aren't affected by it. True journalists stick to the facts and let the readers decide rather than choosing the readers opinion. However, consumers love to read that kind of news since it usually speaks to the unusual or what they want to hear. Kind of like the tabloid magazines. Most readers don't believe this type of news. Other types of news that are close to yellow journalism are like the type of news spread on HLN and FoxNews. They are slanted in such a way as to hide certain facts to appeal to a narrow set of individuals. It's not true journalism, but it does affect the thought of the reader/viewer.

The job of a journalist is to report information back to their target audience that is accurate and unbiased. Hopefully this information is useful, important, or at least interesting.
