What's this?

I call it 'yellow dog journalism,' but others call it 'yellow journalism'


The invention of the internet has given birth to society's need for instantaneous news regardless whether it is on TV or online. Since most media outlets are concern about ratings there is a need to be the first outlet to break the story. So the research of the facts may not be as thorough as the days when the evening and morning newspaper was a major source for people's news.
