How did the yellow journalism contribute to american support of the cuban revolution?
Publishers Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst were fierce competitors, and they both began to take their one-upmanship to coverage of the Cuban Revolution. They both used yellow journalism in reporting the stories, some true, some not, that painted a clear picture of the revolutionaries bravery, and Spain's bullying. More and more Americans, as a result of this type of reporting, wanted Spain out of Cuba. It all came to a head when the USS Maine, which was docked near Havana, was leveled by an explosion. Although a Navy investigation simply stated the explosion came from mine in the harbor, Hearst and Pulitzer declared it a Spanish attack on an American ship. Within months, the Spanish American War had begun.
Who told the artist Frederic Remington you furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war?
Short Answer: William Randolph Hearst, of the New York Journal. Long Answer: In 1896, Spain responded to the Cuban revolt by sending general Valeriando Weyler to Cuba to restore order. Weyler tried to crush the rebellion by herding the entire rural population of central and western Cuba into barbed-wire concentration camps. Here civilians could not give aid to rebels. An estimated 300,000 Cubans filled these camps, where thousands died from hunger and disease. Weyler's actions fueled a war over newspaper circulation that had developed between the American newspaper tycoons William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. To lure readers, Hearst's New York Journal and Pulitzer's New York World printed exaggerated accounts - by reporters such as James Creelman - of "Butcher" Weyler's brutality. Stories of poisoned wells and of children being thrown to the sharks deepened American sympathy for the rebels. This sensational style of writing, which exaggerates the news to lure and enrage readers, became known as *yellow journalism*. Hearst and Pulitzer fanned war fever. When Hearst sent the gifted artist Frederic Remington to Cuba to draw sketches of reporters' stories, Remington informed the publisher that a war between the United States and Spain seemed very unlikely. Hearst reportedly replied, "You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war."
