Yellow journalism is a term coined to describe the sensational, sometimes irresponsible approach to journalism and news reporting that held sway during the last part of the 19th century. Publishers like Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst encouraged this trend as a means to sell newspapers. Such reporting encouraged the Spanish-American War of 1898, due to the large role played by the press in influencing President McKinley's decision to go to war.
