Yellow press or amarillista press is a type of journalism that presents news with striking, scandalous or exaggerated headlines to try to increase their sales, although in general this news does not have any evidence (or scarce) and without a well-defined investigation. This type of sensationalist press includes headlines of catastrophes and a large number of photographs with detailed information about accidents, crimes, adulteries and political entanglements. In the case of graphics or television, it is characterized by using shocking music, extremely saturated colors, mainly red and having your information disorganized.
