Explanation:

Yellow journalism is characterized by sensationalized headlines, exaggerated stories, and a focus on attracting readership rather than objective reporting. The headlines here, such as "DESTRUCTION OF THE WAR SHIP MAINE WAS THE WORK OF AN ENEMY" and the large reward offers, are designed to stir up public emotion and interest without necessarily presenting fully verified facts. Muckraking literature focuses on exposing social ills and corruption in a more in - depth, investigative (but less sensational) way. Investigative reporting is more about in - depth fact - finding. Government censorship would involve the government restricting information, which is not indicated here.
