Más información sobre el libro

The book provides a comprehensive reassessment of the yellow press era in American journalism, debunking myths surrounding its role in the Spanish-American War of 1898. It argues that the infamous exchange between Frederic Remington and William Randolph Hearst likely never occurred. Through systematic content analysis of seven major U.S. newspapers over the 20th century, the study reveals that certain characteristics of yellow journalism persist in contemporary media, challenging long-held perceptions about this controversial period.
