The term $$Yellow Journalism$$ is often used to refer to journalism that presents little to no well$-$researched news but instead attempts to use headlines to sell more newspapers. From where did this term originate?

Group of answer choices

From WWII and the Nazis who published stories of $$financial atrocities$$ committed by the Jews in Europe that left many Germans homeless during their depression. The press referred to them as $$cowards$$ thus the term $$yellow$$ was associated with the many false reports that were written.

From Napoleonic times when the paper used by government$-$owned papers had a tendency to quickly $$yellow$.$ The reports in these papers proclaimed the tremendous benefits of having Napoleon as a ruler and the victories he was leading France to$.$ The reports were not believed by most and the term $$yellow journalism$($or more appropriately its French equivalent $$Le Journalisme Jaune$)$ was born.

During the Viet Nam War propaganda from the north was distributed in $$reports$$ in unofficial newspapers distributed in the south that were designed to look like real newspapers. The paper used by the north was substandard and often quickly yellowed in the humidity of the countries. Since they were so outlandish in their reporting, and the English was obviously not from a native speaker, few believed them but found them to be humorous in their attempts and labeled them $$yellow journalism$.$

The term was coined in the mid$-1890$s to characterize the sensational journalism that used some yellow ink in the circulation war between Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst in New York. Both papers were accused by critics of sensationalizing the news in order to drive up circulation.
