Sensationalistic stories have attracted readers for as long as reading has been a popular form of entertainment. This study of sensationalism describes how newspapers added lurid details of crime, murder, scandal, gossip, and gruesome accidents to their coverage of news events in an effort to attract as many readers as they could.
