Yellow journalists reported the news sensationally, using exaggerated headlines and dramatic imagery to capture readers' attention.

They frequently relied on emotional appeals, rumors, and scandalous stories to generate interest in their publications.

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.

back then, journalists were journalists and political affiliation wasn't apparent like it is today with Fox News and MSNBC...
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. Journalists that exist only to make a profit for their organization and pump up news to make it sound more dramatic are no longer journalists, they are marketers.
They were early iterations of tabloid journalism.
The outlook of a journalist is increasing because the need for news has increased.
