YELLOW JOURNALISM
CARTOON WHERE THE
TERM “YELLOW JOURNALISM” CAME FROM
IN 1898 NEWSPAPERS PROVIDED THE PUBLIC WITH INFORMATION. PEOPLE
LACKED THE ABILITY TO VERIFY IF THE STORIES WERE BIASED OR
INACCURATE AND THEREFORE RELIED UPON NEWSPAPERS TO TELL THE
TRUTH. PULITZER AND HEARST TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE PUBLIC’S
IGNORANCE BY TWISTING THE TRUTH TO SELL MORE NEWSPAPERS.
SENSATIONALIZED STORIES WERE FEATURED HEAVILY IN THEIR
NEWSPAPERS SINCE EXCITING HEADLINES INCREASED CIRCULATION.

NEWSPAPERS FOCUSED ON SPANISH ATROCITIES TOWARDS THE CUBAN PEOPLE TO
IGNITE PASSIONS AGAINST SPAIN
SPANISH GENERAL WEYLER WAS SEEN AS A “BUTCHER” IN THE
US FOR HIS TREATMENT OF THE
CUBAN PEOPLE

The u.s. public was especially sympathetic towards women in Cuba. Hearst focused on a young woman, known in the United States as Evangelina
Cisneros, who was imprisoned in Havana.
Petitions for her freedom were signed by prominent U.S. women and the pope,
and addressed to the Queen regent of Spain. Evangelina managed to escape with the help of correspondent Karl
Decker, who probably bribed her guards. The story
presented to the public was that of a heroic "journalist
that acts."

teller amendment, 1898Joint resolution for the recognition of the independence of the people of Cuba, demanding
that the Government of Spain relinquish its authority and government in the Island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the
President of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect.
Whereas the abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the Island of Cuba, so near our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United
States, have been a disgrace to Christian civilization, culminating, as they have, in the destruction of a United States battle ship, with two hundred and sixty-six of its officers and
crew, while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and can not longer be endured, as has been set forth by the President of the United States in his message to Congress of April
eleventh, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, upon which the action of Congress was invited:
Therefore, Resolved, First. That the people of the Island of Cuba are, of right ought to be, free and
independent. Second. That it is the duty of the United States to demand, and the Government of the United States does hereby demand, that the Government of Spain at once relinquish its
authority and government in the Island of Cuba and withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
Third. That the President of the United States be, and he hereby is, directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States, and to call into the actual service of the United States the militia of the several States, to such extent as may be
necessary to carry these resolutions into effect.Fourth. That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or intention to exercise
sovereignty, jurisdiction, or control over said Island except for the pacification thereof, and asserts its determination, when that is accomplished, to leave the government and control of
the Island to its people.
