The ever-growing cluster of self-immolation surrounding the Lehrmann case has now remorselessly spread to journalism, thrusting it into the unaccustomed role of guilty bystander while besmirching a profession vitally important to a fairer society.
The ever-growing cluster of self-immolation surrounding the Lehrmann case has now remorselessly spread to journalism, thrusting it into the unaccustomed role of a guilty bystander while besmirching a profession vitally important to a fairer society.
In an era when opinion, shoddy opinion polls and surveys sometimes counterbalance news and analysis, the Lehrmann matter has highlighted the media’s role in bringing alleged injustice and wrongdoing to light and the unethical lengths some journalists go to for scoops in a competitive environment.
The words “Yellow Journalism” entered everyday language towards the end of the 19th century when two New York publications that emphasised sensationalism over facts fought a bidding war over a cartoon character known as the Yellow Kid. The pejorative term became shorthand for the style of journalism they purveyed.
