Yellow Journalism
I was looking up yellow journalism for good examples on google and I suddenly remembered a great book I read called Uprising. The book is about the big factories around 1910. The factory workers were unfairly treated and worked under horrible working conditions. All the rich people in that era had factory made clothes but none of them knew about the terrible conditions the workers were put through to make those clothes. The conditions inside the factories was pretty much kept a secret. What all the rich people were told was that factories were fine.
