What is Sensationalism?
It is a type of editorial bias in mass media in
which events and topics in news stories and
pieces are over-hyped to increase viewership or
readership numbers.
Some strategies of this would be:
Omitting information
Appealing to emotions (fear, lust, sadness…)
Exaggerated information

So do people actually believe
sensationalized media?
Yes, we do.

Now it is your turn
Create a sensationalized front page for the
school newspaper
The event could be about anything; but make it
interesting, the point is to get as many readers as
possible
You need:
A catchy title
Two sentences explaining what the reader will
find out, if they chose to read

“Awake United States!”
Eagle soar on high, and sound the battle
cry!
And how proudly sailed the warship Maine,
a Nation’s pride, without a stain!
A wreck she lies, her sailors slain.
By two-faced butchers, paid by Spain!
Eagle soar on high,
And sound the battle cry
Wave the starry flag!
In the mud it shall not drag!
This song was rushed into print between the sinking of the Maine on February 15,
1898, and the declaration of war on April 25, 1898

States and the Philippine Island.

Take up the White Man's burden,
Send forth the best ye breed
Go bind your sons to exile, to serve
your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered
folk and wild—
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child.
