The term “Yellow Journalism” came form a New York World comic known as “Hogan’s Alley” because it had a character who dressed in yellow and was called the “yellow kid”. The rival of New York World was New York Journal. The owner of New York Journal was William Randolph Hearst, and he hired Hogan’s Alley artist, R.F Outcault so that he could create a second yellow kid character. This resulted in a competition between the so called “yellow kids”. This event is what created the term “yellow journalism”. Yellow Journalism is a style of journalism that is based on the use of shocking stories at the expense of accuracy. Journals that contained the style of yellow journalism relied on sensationalist headlines and crude information so that they can make money. Compared to fake news, satire news is different because it is easier to notice. It’s mych more obvious than fake news is. Fake news is more easily hidden, which makes it more dangerous because it seems believably and makes the public think that it is the truth. It is much more believable than fake ness is. This can put the public in danger because they want to believe that what they are reading is true. Store news can easily be detected, but fake news is harder to spot.

Journal Entry # 8 - Facing Fake News
The photograph makes me curious about whether or not I can believe it. Although the flowers in the photo are deformed looking, there isn’t enough information to prove it. I think that this photo could possibly be fake news because there is not much information to prove otherwise. There are no sources which makes me, and probably many others, wonder if it is actually reliable. I do, however, think that the photo is a form of evidence, but not enough eveidene because there is such thing as photoshop. I do not think that this article is reliable because it leaves me with too many questions.
