prensa amarilla
A type of journalism that provides little to no well researched information. Instead focuses on eye-catching headlines to sell more copies. It began with sensationalistic press accounts of the volatile Cuban situation in the 1890s, led by William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal and Joseph Pulitzer's New York World.
