What is the best describes the role of West Coast newspapers in provoking fear of Japanese people in the 1940s?

It is not fair to blame the US newspapers for "provoking" fear of the Japanese. The Japanese went to great efforts to create an environment of fear in Asia by attacking & invading China, murdering Chinese civilians & engaged in large scale looting, burning, rape & brutality towards the Chinese population. The "Rape of Nanking" was a sensational but true event that soiled the reputation of Japan before the war. When Japan joined the Axis (with Hitler & Mussolini), that further concerned Americans. American fears of the reckless brutality of the Japanese were well founded & reconfirmed by the actual events of World War Two. If your question is about the fear of Japanese-Americans living on the US West Coast, then you should examine the reasons for the fear before you assume that all this fear as unprovoked & irrational. Most of those placed in the relocation camps were not a threat, however there were large numbers that were a threat, or refused to swear allegiance to the US. The US knew that the Japanese had many intelligence agents working for the Japanese government living among the Japanese-Americans. There was a suspicion that the numbers of dangerous Japanese-Americans was in a higher proportion than among German-Americans or Italian-Americans.
