Find a short news piece from a reputable newspaper source, such as the New York Times or the Washington Post. Rewrite the piece in your best attempt at yellow journalism. Think tabloid stories crazy emotional content—really push the envelope and have some fun. Your rewritten article should be about the same length as the original and should contain all of the same details, just told from a different perspective. Submit both the original article and your rewrite as well as the answers to these questions. 1. Identify three examples of language use in your rewrite that you think reflect the yellow journalism style.

2. What did you do to turn the original piece from traditional journalism into yellow journalism? Be specific about your writing process.
