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.
