In journalism, yellow journalism is the use of eye-catching headlines and sensationalized exaggerations for increased sales, while the yellow press are American newspapers which do so. This term is chiefly used in American English, whereas in the United Kingdom, the similar term tabloid journalism is more common. Yellow journalism emerged in a competition for readers between two newspapers in New York City in the 1890s. It was not common in other cities.

William Randolph Hearst then purchased the rival New York Jo…

The history of journalism spans the growth of technology and trade, marked by the advent of specialized techniques for gathering and disseminating information on a regular basis that has caused, as one history of journalism surmises, the steady increase of "the scope of news available to us and the speed with which it is transmitted". Before the printing press was invented, word of mouth was the primary source of news. Returning merchants, sailors, and travelers brought news back to the mainland, and this was then picked up by pedlars and traveling players and spread from town to town.

The history of media bias in the United States has evolved from overtly partisan newspapers in the 18th and 19th centuries to professional journalism with ethical standards in the 20th century and into the 21st century, where the Internet enabled anyone to become a journalist and the public stopped paying for their news, leaving socially responsible journalism difficult to sustain and the floodgates open to people who lack education or training in journalism to publish news stories with little effort or knowledge. Early newspapers often reflected the views of their publishers, with competing papers presenting differing opinions. Government interventions, such as the Alien and Sedition Acts…

The news caused a huge impact in the US due to three factors: the appearance of high-capacity presses, the fall in the price of newspapers (the penny press), and the arrival of new transportation means that exceeded the speed of the horses for the first time in history: trains and steamboats. All these factors helped to disseminate false and sensationalist information on a large scale under the guise of true news. Today this is what we call “fake news”.
