Yellow Journalism refers mainly to the 1890 circulation war between rival paper and magazine companies. Wanting to outsell their competitors, journalists would alter facts for a better story. Not only would false stories be published, but periodically publish photographs on news print.
It was at the end of these ethically questionable times that the first set of journalism standards were agreed upon. Today the term Yellow Journalism is used to identify unethical journalism.
