1. Yellow Journalism is a type of journalism that down play legitimate news in favor of eye-catching headlines that sell more newspapers. 2. The first event in the print media used was the cartoon of "The Yellow Kid." 3. A remedy is the checking of ones work and source. 4. Muckraking is the exposure of a scandal. 5. Theodore Roosevelt was the first to use the term "Muck-Rake." 6. Two targets for Muckraking in the 20th century were for justice movements toward reform, and cleaning up cities and states. 7. An example of Yellow Journalism would be Alex Rodriguez's incident with steroids this past summer. Some people are saying that Alex Rodriguez has been taking steroids sense high school. No one really knows when A-Rod really started taking steroids but we do know when he was caught. He was caught using a banned substance in 2003 and was never reported by the league. http://www.silive.com/sports/index.ssf/2009/06/alex_rodriguez_tellall_book_no.html [] 8. An example of Muckraking would be the fraud commited by Tom Petters a former CEO of Petters Group Worldwide. He has been convicted of a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme is where you invest one buisinesses money and then invest in another and you pay back the first buisness you invested in with the second buisnesse's money you had just invested in. But the extra money you have left over you pocket for yourself. On December 2, 2009 Tom Petters was found guilty for 20 accounts of wire and mail fraud. []
