Asked by Clara

Explain why this quote, attributed to newspaper owner William Randolph Hearst, has long exemplified yellow journalism: "You furnish the pictures, and I'll furnish the war!"
Answered by hazen hell
Yellow journalism and yellow press are American terms for journalism and associated newspapers that present little or no legitimate, well-researched news while instead using eye-catching headlines for increased sales. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism. By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion.
