National News-
William Randolph Hearst – New York Journal
Joseph Pulitzer – New York World
Yellow JournalismTo the artist who cabled from Cuba,
“There is no trouble here. There will be no war.
I wish to return.”
Hearst replied “Please remain. You furnish the
pictures and I’ll furnish the war.”
Hearst’s Journal described the Spanish Commander as
“Butcher” Weyler, “the devastator of Haciendas, the destroyer
of families, and the outrager of women.”
Pulitzer’s World printed such reports as: “ The horrors of a
barbarous struggle for the extermination of the native
population are witnessed in all parts of the country. Blood on
the roadsides, blood on the fields, blood on the doorsteps,
blood, blood, blood! The old, the young, the weak, the crippled-
all are butchered without mercy. There is scarcely a hamlet that
has not witnessed the dreadful work. Is there no nation wise
enough, brave enough to aid this blood-smitten land?”
