Yellow journalism is a form of journalism that emerged in the late nineteenth century and was characterized by the use of sensationalized headlines, pictures, comics, and oversimplified news coverage. The term "yellow journalism" was coined after the "Yellow Kid" comic strip, which was a popular feature in William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal newspaper. Yellow journalism was criticized for its lack of accuracy, its focus on scandal and sensationalism, and its tendency to stir up public opinion in favor of war and other aggressive actions.
