The last two days in class we have talked about "yellow journalism". This was and still is a type of writing style. When newspapers were actually read they would have titles to a story  that would make you want to read the article. An example would be that a bride went missing. One  newspaper's title was BRIDE GONE MISSING!! Another would be BRIDE MISSING: GROOM'S FAMILY REPORTS SHE HAS A HISTORY OF MENTAL ILLNESS. Which one would you rather read? The first on is strait to the point. The other has a little bit of extra information in it. The only problem about the second title is that it is only reporting one side of the story the groom's family's side. In class we created our own titles to articles that we read and taped them all around the room. Today we walked around the classroom and read all of the classes and we decided on which one we thought were the best in groups of three.
