Yellow journalism is a type of journalism that presents news in a sensationalized, exaggerated, or misleading way in order to attract readers and boost sales. It often relies on eye-catching headlines, scandalous stories, and little or no fact-checking. Yellow journalism is not based on factual reporting and is meant to manipulate or influence readers' opinions rather than inform them accurately. The term "yellow journalism" was coined in the 1890s to describe the practices of newspapers that relied on sensationalism and exaggerated stories to sell more copies.
