Yellow age

The yellow age is a period of journalistic sensationalism and an emphasis on profitable papers that carried exciting human-interest stories, crime news, large headlines, and more readable copy. This reporting is considered a direct forerunner of today's tabloid papers and celebrity-centered reporting.
