Topic 7.3
How did Yellow Journalism contribute to public opinion prior to America’s involvement in the Spanish-American War?
Through balanced reporting it provided unbiased information about Spain's activities in Cuba for readers to form their opinions based on facts only.
It fueled American sympathy toward Cuba by publishing sensationalized accounts about Spain's treatment of Cubans.
It discouraged Americans from supporting intervention by depicting gruesome scenes from war zones.
Yellow journalism played no role; few Americans could read at this time period.
