Sensationalism refers to the use of exaggerated or lurid headlines and stories to capture attention and boost ratings or sales in the media. It often focuses on shocking or scandalous content rather than objective reporting of facts.
In journalism, sensationalism refers to a style of reporting that is exaggerated, and focuses on scandal or controversy. It tries to attract attention from readers (or today, viewers and listeners) by using shock-- such as reports of outrageous behavior by celebrities or politicians. But in reality, the story often promises more than it delivers: if you check the facts, you may find the story is just exaggerated to get your attention, or the "controversy" or "scandal" didn't really happen the way the story led you to believe. Many tabloid magazines and newspapers rely on sensationalism even today.
