Yellow journalism

Explanation:

In the early 1900s the newspaper industry started focusing on making money at the cost of authentic and verified news. News was not being presented as facts but was sensationalized.

Although the news was not completely inaccurate they were exaggerated. The main purpose of this was to increase the sales of the newspaper.

Hence, the question here is referring to yellow journalism.
