Back To Site An essay written by __**Andrew L. Gard**__ at Bukley High School about the people against yellow journalism was mentioned in an article in the //New York Times// in 1857. Gard said,"**Newspapers reach beyond the limit** of books and magazines. In fact, the newspaper of the present age knows scarcely any limit. Opinions are formed from what is read. all new things are reflected in its pages. It is of great importane, then, that these mighty agents be truthful and of good moral tone. **There are two papers that need severe censure**. I need not mention their names. they are familiar to most of you. Yellow journalism is recalled on the mention of their names. Crimes and scandal are portrayed daily in their columns. If the printing of the vilest stuff continues our jails will be filled and vice increase. Journals of this class fear not God, neither do they regard man. **Shall we tolerate these progenitors of crime?** From platform, pulpit, and home comes up the cry: **'Away with such journalism!'"

Activity: Is this Yellow Journalism?

The War in Iraq is no big deal, troops are being treated with much care. Very few soldiers have been injured, and we are doing our best to help them get through the war safely. President Bush has made no mistakes in his decision to go to war. Being in Iraq is a positive experience, and the mild chaos is soon to be over. We support our troops! Join the Army!
