Question

how did journalists use yellow journalism to encourage the united states to go to war with spain? check all that apply.
by writing sensational headlines
by working undercover to expose spanish misdoings
by deeply exploring only part of the us-spain relationship
by relying mostly on unnamed sources
by printing rumors as if they were facts

Explanation:

• by writing sensational headlines: Yellow journalism often used dramatic, attention - grabbing headlines to stir up public emotion and support for war.
• by deeply exploring only part of the US - Spain relationship: They would focus on negative or controversial aspects of the relationship while ignoring others, to create a one - sided view that favored war.
• by relying mostly on unnamed sources: Using unnamed sources allowed them to spread unsubstantiated claims more easily, as there was no way to verify the information.
• by printing rumors as if they were facts: This was a key tactic of yellow journalism, spreading false or unproven stories as truth to influence public opinion towards war.
• The option "by working undercover to expose Spanish misdoings" is incorrect because yellow journalism was more about sensationalism and spreading unsubstantiated claims rather than legitimate undercover investigative work to expose wrongdoings.

Answer:

• by writing sensational headlines
• by deeply exploring only part of the US - Spain relationship
• by relying mostly on unnamed sources
• by printing rumors as if they were facts
