Yellow Journalism and the Spanish-American War
An examination of the fabrication-led news cycles of 1898, focusing on how systemic sensationalism served as a mechanism for identity-defense among media moguls.
The competition between Hearst and Pulitzer created a closed-loop media environment where manufacturing crises became the primary directive for circulation growth. This dynamic mirrors the Liar's-Heir-Syndrome by forcing institutional actors into a recursive loop of deception.
