1. Yellow Journalism is a biased opinion masquerading as an objective fact. It involved sensationalism, distorted stories, and misleading images for the sole purpose of boosting newspaper sales and exciting public opinion. Basically it was about untruthful, made up articles released on several stands to profit for money. 2. The Industrial Revolution was an event in American history that lead to the first use YELLOW JOURNALISM using machines that could print out several copies. 3. The remedy to yellow journalism is that people often overlook the benefits of newspapers and what its useful for, which is for useful and reliable sources of information. 4. A muckracker are those who wants the public to know the buisness and government for their failures. 5. The term was first used by President Theodore Roosevelt. 6. Two targets of muckraking are: Lincoln Steffens who published “Tweed Days in St. Louis,” in which he profiled corrupt leaders in St. Louis, in October, 1902, in McClure’s Magazine. Ray Stannard Baker published The Right to Work in McClure's magazine in 1903, about coal mine conditions, a coal strike and the situation of non-striking workers (or scabs) 7. An article online that depicts yellow journalism is an article that talks about Michael Jackson. Although he has been dead for months now, people still make up stories about him and try to sell them out to the media. The article talks about a shadow in one of the footage on the never-land ranch, whom they believe is the ghostly image of the king of pop himself. This is an example of yellow journalism because they try to persuade the audience by giving a misleading headline and an untruthful twist to capture the readers attention. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1197780/Ghost-Michael-Jackson-caught-camera-pacing-corridors-Neverland.html 8. An example of muckraking comes from an article about sweatshops. This article talks about the company Nike who has been profiting off of many foreign workers who make their shoes in very bad conditions. This is an example of muckraking because it exposes the truth and corruption behind the popular shoe company and exposes it to the audience so that they have more knowledge about the situation. http://www.info-center.tv/sweatshops/nike-sweatshops.html media type="custom" key="4489392"Type in the content of your page here.
