By extension "Yellow Journalism" is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion.The term was extensively used to describe certain major New York City newspapers as they battled for circulation. The journalism used some yellow ink in the circulation war between New York World and New York Journal. The battle peaked from 1895 to about 1898, and historical usage often refers specifically to this period.
There is still plenty of yellow journalism today. The historical period known for Yellow Journalism began with Boss Tweed in New York in the late 1860s and hit its peak during the Muck Raking era led by Ida Tarbell around the beginning of the 20th Century.
