Why was Tituba such an easy target for scapegoating in Puritan Salem?

Because she was a female, Native American servant. Natives were already seen as corrupt and uncivilized, so English settlers in Salem were quick to believe that she was corrupted by the devil. Also, the people who accused her were little English girls, so they naturally appeared more innocent than the slave.

the answer is culture

journalism is the gathering, organizing, and distribution of news -- to include feature stories and commentary -- through the wide variety of print and non-print media outlets. it is not a recent phenomenon, by any means; the earliest reference to a journalistic product comes from rome circa 59 b.c., when news was recorded in a circular called the acta diurna. it enjoyed daily publication and was hung strategically throughout the city for all to read, or for those who were able to read.
