5) In response to the movie "Citizen Kane" one of the reason this film is considered one of the greatest produced is because of the many events in American History it alludes to, such as Yellow Journalism. Yellow Journalism was predomintaley seen throughout the 1880's to the 1900s , it was employed as a business, which caused editors to invent many stories that weren't true. During this time period many newspapers were very intrested in catching the public's attention rather than promoting After watching the movie "Citizen Kane" I realized why this movie was named one of the best films ever. Yellow journalism was in an era from the 1880 to the 1900 and it featured flashy journalism of that time, which made editors write about invented stories. Which went to big headlines on subjects that weren't true. The two big writers of that time were William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. During the film Kane is depicted as a yellow journalism at different times.
One example is when they put out the article "Charles Foster Kane Defeated, Fraud At Polls". From that headline you would believe that he was beaten by some illegal purpose, but it was just a headline getting people to read the article and the enjoyment of writing against your enemy. Next, when Kane got all the writers from the chronicle to start writing for the inquirer. He put out an article that said "The Greatest Newspaper Staff In The World" and had a picture of all the new guys standing together. As you can see there it is not so much false information, but he said they are greatest writers in the world. When all these guys came form the opposing newspaper. While watching the film there are many other times that Kane portrays yellow journalism. He was out to help the poor people of the community and just have fun with the newspaper.
Citizen Kane, often lauded as the greatest film ever made, is at its base a snapshot of journalism practices in the former half of the 20th Century. Before
