History Of Journalism

Yellow Journalist(yellow press): is a US term for a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers.



Muckrakers: They typically had large audiences in some popular magazines.


Libel: if a journalist reports something that is true it cannot be libelous, even if it damages a person's reputation.


5 W's and H: (who, what, where, when, why, how) is a method of asking questions about a process or a problem taken up for improvement.


Hazel wood v. Kulmeier court case: Journalism students in Hazel wood East High School in St. Louis produced a school sponsored and funded newspaper called the Spectrum. One issue featured stories on teen pregnancy and divorce. The school's principal thought the stories were inappropriate and prior to the publication, he deleted the two pages containing the offensive stories without telling the journalism students.








Inverted Pyramid Style: is a metaphor used by journalists and other writers to illustrate how information should be prioritized and structured in a text (e.g., a news report).
