=**Upton Sinclair was a Muckraker which is a name given to the first American writers in the early 20th century who exposed corruption and scandals in business and politics. Upton Sinclair wrote a book the “The Jungle”. One part of the story told them how dead rats were put in shoveled into sausage grinding machines. He also wrote how cow’s guts and filth were taken off the floor and put in a box and shipped as potted ham. Upton Sinclair wanted people to be vegetarians. So when the people read the book they would think that it was very gross. Will Signor and Joe Speelmen **= 9.) Yellow Journalist (Hearst, Pulitzer)

Joseph Pulitzer controlled the world, the New York World that is. The New York World was a newspaper full of //yellow journalism//. William Randolph Hearst, Pulitzer’s rival in the business world, had the New York Journal and was also guilty of using yellow journalism to attract readers. Yellow journalism is rip-off news that sacrifices real information to make news more interesting and get more readers. Writers exaggerated stories and made a big deal out of small things just so that they would have more news and more readers than their competitors had. The battle between Pulitzer and Hearst to have the most readers peaked from about 1895 to about 1898 and the phrase “yellow kid journalism” was coined in 1897. 1900 5.)
