[00:00.00]Both the Hearst and Pulitzer newspapers
[00:03.82]started to include sensational1 stories
[00:06.56]about the Cuban Insurrection.
[00:09.08]The stories greatly exaggerated claims
[00:13.56]of Spanish troops placing Cubans

[00:18.05]forcing them to live
[00:20.34]under substandard conditions,
[00:22.09]diseaseridden, starving and dying.
[00:25.16]This style of reporting
[00:28.11]became known as “Yellow Journalism”.
[00:29.75]The newspapers were transformed
[00:33.58]as the scope of the news broadened

[00:38.72] Circulation soared as the public could
[00:42.00]get enough of the banner headlines

[00:59.62]when one of his correspondents,
[01:01.81]Frederick Remington,
[01:03.88] requested to return from Havana,
[01:06.08]William responded
[01:07.83]that if Remington would
[01:09.47]furnish the pictures, William
[01:11.00]would furnish the war.
[01:13.29]He was once quoted in an editorial
[01:15.60] as saying, “Make the news
[01:18.87]thorough Print all the news.
[01:21.17]Condense it if necessary.
[01:24.23]Frequently it is better
[01:25.99]when intelligently condensed.”
[01:28.72]Another classic example of his influence
[01:31.79]occurred when, merely months
[01:34.30]after he advocated political assassination3

[01:39.22] American President McKinley was assassinated
