1.) Yellow Journalism is a biased opinion masquerading as an objective fact. It involves sensationalism, distorted stories, and misleading images for the sole purpose of b oosting newspaper sales and exciting public opinion.  2.) The Industrial Revolution was when the print media first used Yellow Journalism. 3.) Simply double- and triple-checking one's sources and reading between the lines. If one disregards the obvious marketing that is used to hook readers, newspapers may actually prove to be reliable sources of information. 4.) A **muckraker** seeks to expose [|corruption] of businesses or [|government] to the public. 5.) The term "muckraker" was first used in a speech on April 14, 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt. 6.) [|Lincoln Steffens] 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.) The article I found was a video that was posted that has the headline as "Miley Cyrus Tells Sister, 9, to Do the "Smack That" Dance." This of course draws attention to the media because "Miley Cyrus is such a role model for young girls." It is a distorted story and a misleading image that excites people so people will buy it. They advertise it as a fact, even though it may be a rumor. It misleads people to think that she is a horrible person and that she is not the ideal role model for young girls anymore.
