Yellow Journalism (1898) (8 Nov 1863 Jahr – 1 Jan 1898 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Yellow journalism contributed to the U.S. declaring war by using “sensational stories that tugged at readers' heartstrings to sell papers.” These papers blamed Spain for the sinking of the ship, even though they had no evidence to prove it. Spain declared war on April 24, 1898 and the U.S. declared war the next day.
