<u>The correct answer is yellow journalism or yellow press.</u>
Explanation:
To find the origin of the term "yellow journalism" or "yellow press", we have to go back to the end of the 19th century, specifically to the period between 1895 and 1898.
At that time there was a journalistic struggle of a great rivalry between two important New York newspapers: <u>the New York World (NYW) by Joseph Pulitzer and the New York Journal (NYJ) by William Randolph Hearst (two of the great press magnates). </u>It was customary in both publications to publish frequent news related to catastrophes, crimes, robberies, scandals and family misfortunes, in addition, they usually present the information emphasizing the negative aspects, magnifying and exaggerating them, seeking a greater number of sales.
The British had attacked China in the Opium War because China had terminated trade of opium from the British and burned all opium they could find in China. The British saw this as a form of aggression and therefore sent their troops.
The problem first rooted with tea (that was a pun :D). The British wanted tea and China had tea, but China wanted silver. Eventually, the British decided to buy the tea and sold China opium instead. This went well at first until China saw the effect opium had on their civilians. So China banned it, and burned any speck of opium. This got back to the British and they sent their troops.
Hope this helps!
