Yellow Journalism is a story that causes for people to be more interested to the topic by using illegitimate facts and over exaggerating the situation. Many news headlines use yellow journalism in their titles to promote it. They hope that it would grab peoples attention so they will pick it up to read. A current news headline titled "Blizzard Hammering Midwest Now Raging Toward East." When you first read the title, you might think of some huge devastating blizzard that is just taking over the country. When really, it is a big blizzard but its not some huge destructive one like the headline makes it seem. The most that this blizzard has done is leave 2 feet of snow, stall out cars and it collapsed the Metrodomes Teflon roof.
