Yellow journalism

Japanese: イェロー・ジャーナリズム(英語表記)yellow journalism
Yellow journalism
A derogatory term for journalism that sells scandal and sensationalism with the ultimate goal of increasing circulation and profits. It is roughly equivalent to the Japanese term "red newspapers." In the 1890s, Pulitzer's World, which had become a huge business, and Hearst's New York Journal were engaged in an extraordinary competition. The Sunday edition of the World had an eight-page cartoon section, four of which were printed in color. Richard F. Outcault's cartoon "The Yellow Kid" (originally titled "Hogan's Alley"), featuring a child dressed in yellow as the main character, was one of its attractions.

Japanese:
部数,利潤の拡大を至上目標に,スキャンダル,センセーショナリズムを売物にするジャーナリズムへの蔑称(べつしよう)。日本で赤新聞といわれるのがほぼ同義。1890年代,巨大企業と化したピュリッツァーの《ワールド》紙と,ハーストの《ニューヨーク・ジャーナル》紙は,常軌を逸した競争を展開する。《ワールド》の日曜版は,8ページの漫画セクションを出し,そのうちの4ページをカラーで印刷していた。アウトコールトRichard F.Outcaultの黄色い服を着た子どもを主人公にする漫画《イェロー・キッド》(最初は〈Hogan’s Alley〉という題)は,その呼物であった。
