Yellow journalism refers to exaggerated stories used to make stories seem more appealing to the public. It is characterized by sensationalism, exaggeration, and often misleading headlines to attract readers and increase sales, rather than focusing solely on factual reporting. This term originated in the late 19th century during fierce competition between newspaper publishers, notably between Joseph Pulitzer's New York World and William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal.
