As defined by wikipedia, yellow journalism is is a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers. As a student of journalism, this practice of sensationalism, spawned by greed, threatens to undermine the very purpose of journalism. Citizens have a right to be accuratly informed and it is the dudy of journalists to provide this, not to sell the most newspapers.
