Answer:

Engaging in a style of publishing called yellow journalism.

Step-by-step explanation:

William Randolph Hearst, from the New York Journal and Joseph Pulitzer, from New York World were pioneers of a journalist style that emerged in the late 1800s called yellow journalism. The main characteristics of this type of newspapers were exaggeration, dishonesty and sensationalism. Its goal was to catch people's attention.
