The New York Journal was a prominent newspaper in the United States, founded in 1895 by William Randolph Hearst. It became known for its sensationalist journalism and was a key player in the development of the yellow journalism style, which emphasized eye-catching headlines and dramatic stories to attract readers. The newspaper played a significant role in the media landscape of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often competing with other major publications like the New York World. The New York Journal eventually ceased publication in 1937, but its influence on journalism and public opinion during its operation remains noteworthy.
