What is the yellow journalism?

 

Those that do not have credibility, and accuracy but tend to exaggeration and it  based on  rumors and  false news  ​​without  make sure if  it is correct or not.

 

 Or ,  it can be  the newspapers that are interested to  publish news of crime ,  violence, sex ,  excitement without considering the seriousness of it in  the  readers.

 

 And ,  their main goal is to collect profit.

The first report about the break-in at the Democratic National Committee's headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C. broke out on June 17, 1972.

 Most of newspapers dismissed the story, calling the incident a 'caper.'

 However, Woodward teamed with Bernstein raised the issue of the link between the burglars and President Nixon's reelection committee with their first report for the Watergate scandal.

Eventually their reporting made it clear that the break-in had been orchestrated by high-ranking officials of the Nixon administration and the Committee to Re-elect the President.

 On the course of their reporting, the big picture of political 'dirty tricks' of White House was revealed, which included wiretapping, burglary, and disruption of Democratic Party activities.

Their series of articles uncovered the deep connection between the political misconducts and 'creep' which led to Congressional hearings and the conviction of several Nixon cornies.

Two years and 8 days after the first report broke out, President Nixon appeared on TV screen for his resignation speech.

Woodward and Bernstein won most of major journalism award, including the Pulitzer Prize.

 They coauthored two best sellers, 'All the President Men' (1974) and 'The Final Days' (1976).

The first book was made into a movie in 1976 and hit the box office record.
