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.
They were early iterations of tabloid journalism.
Yellow journalism was a technique done by many journalists in the late 1800's and the early 1900's. Most of it was made up, or extremely exaggerated in order to put certain ideas in to people's heads. For example, during the Spanish-American war, yellow journalists wrote that the Spanish were throwing captives into shark infested water or being fed to dogs, which in unlikely; however, it got the American's to back up the war.
It is mainly used to enertain folks like you. HA HA HA
Yellow Journalism means not caring about the actual important news and selling eye catching headlines which help in selling more newspapers. The Cuba rebellion was used by yellow journalists who made sensational headlines giving a fabricated account (sometimes outright lies) of the rebellion resulting in a public opinion sicked by the atrocities and bloodshed caused by the rebellion. However the role of yellow journalism in causing the war is arguable as 'the yellow journalism' did not have much impact outside New York.
Yellow journalism is also known as the yellow press. Yellow journalism is journalism that is base upon sensationalism an crude exaggeration.

Yellow journalists sensationalize news stories to attract attention and manipulate public opinion. They often prioritize profit and audience engagement over ethical journalism standards. Their exaggerated or misleading reporting can lead to misinformation and social unrest.
It really depends on what your beliefs are. Yellow Journalism is lying and exaggerating in news or newspaper to comfort people. I personally think it is bad because are not good, and it is better to hear the truth.
