Question

Since the Gilded Age, journalism has not been about making a profit, rather it has been about reporting the news.

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is FALSE that Since the Gilded Age, journalism has not been about making a profit. Instead, it has been about reporting the news.

The above statement is valid because around 1890, following the Gilded Age of the 1870s, the common theme in Journalism, especially in the United States, was widely known as Yellow Journalism, a situation whereby many newspapers reporting styles were based more on sensationalism instead of facts. The reason for this is to draw more readers and make more profits.

Hence, the statement in the question is FALSE.
