The Rise of Yellow Journalism
Today's media is packed with clickbait headlines, anonymous sources, and sensational imagery. Once upon a time, American media was filled with journalists and reporters who cared about uncovering the truth in every story and exposing corruption. So, there must have been a point where truth and integrity were forced to take a backseat. Right?
Arguably – no. Looking back through the media archives suggests that politics and self-interests have always tainted news. At the very least, we can trace this lack of honest reporting back to the late 19th century, specifically the 1890s, with the rise of Yellow Journalism.
