4. What do you think?



4. 1 Search the Internet and look for the meaning of 'yellow journalism'

- What is the definition of 'yellow journalism'?

I think it may means that jonrnalisms use over headlines and big pictures but they are legel, which are in order to catch audiece's eyes and sell more newspapers or raise their TV program rating.




4.2 Would you characterize Taiwan's news reporting as a form of 'yellow journalism'?

- If so, why do you say so? Give an example of a sensationalized news report that has been the focused of attention by the Taiwanese media (it could be an old report that was sensationalized and given so much attention that it did not deserve.)


In my opinion, Taiwan is all full of "yellow jonrnalism!" Especial recently, the ex-president, Chen Sui-Ben have arrested because of corruption. As well as, when the lottery was very popular, news' title always used big size to attract us. However, it seems Taiwan's news media are gradually blurred our focus. For the sake of program rating and selling, they use some no good topics. Hence, we have to use right angle to look things.
