Answer: yellow journalism

Step-by-step explanation:

- Hearst and Pulitzer influenced and pushed a unique type journalism of the 1890s that used melodrama, romance, and hyperbole to sell millions of newspapers.

- The majority of the works had very little research, extreme bias, used bold headlines, twisted words, and extreme exaggeration, sometimes they weren’t even true or real.

- The sole purpose of this type of journalism was to attract more readers and circulation, hence more money.

- This style became known as yellow journalism.

hope this helps :)
