William Newspapers Stories News Furnish Hearst Pulitzer Started

Front Both the Hearst and Pulitzer newspapers started to include sensational stories about the Cuban Insurrection. The stories greatly exaggerated claims of Spanish troops placing Cubans in concentration camps, forcing them to live under substandard conditions, disease-ridden, starving and dying. This style of reporting became known as “Yellow Journalism”. The newspapers were transformed as the scope of the news broadened and became less conservative. Circulation soared as the public could get enough of the banner headlines and abundant illustrations. At the time, many people believed William actually might have initiated the Spanish-American War to encourage sales. According to one report, when one of his correspondents, Frederick Remington, requested to return from Havana , William responded that if Remington would furnish the pictures, William would furnish the war. He was once quoted in an editorial as saying, “Make the news thorough Print all the news. Condense it if necessary. Frequently it is better when intelligently condensed.”
Back 赫斯特和普利策的报纸都开始刊登有关古巴起义的耸人听闻的故事。这些故事极大地夸大了西班牙部队的行为:他们把古巴人关进集中营,迫使他们在恶劣的条件下生活,饱受疾病、饥饿和死亡的折磨。这种报道形式成了有名的“黄色新闻”。报纸在向扩大新闻范围方面转变,并变得不那么保守了。因为能够使公众获得足够的头条新闻和丰富的插图,发行量激增。那时,很多人相信威廉实际上可能会发动西班牙——美国战争以增加发行量。据一篇报道说,当他的一个通讯记者弗雷德里克雷明顿请求从哈瓦那回来时,威廉回答说如果雷明顿能提供图片,他就可以发起这场战争。曾有一篇社论引用过他的格言:“跟踪新闻到底。报道所有新闻。必要时浓缩新闻。浓缩后的新闻常常更出色。”
