The first visual shows a famous cartoon. The second visual parodies the two most prominent characters associated with the first cartoon and is drawn in the same style as the cartoon. Identify all and the etymological connection.Answer: The cartoon is the yellow kid, from Richard F. Outcault's Hogan's Alley. The two characters are Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolf Hearst. Their papers ran the cartoon and were known as yellow kid papers. Soon, the name yellow journalism came to mean the papers' practice of taking sensationalism (even down to fictionalized stories) and profits as priorities in journalism. anon, Mitun, Kaushik, Hasan, Schmetterling, Raghu, rajesh, nice try, Amresh and Ajinkya got it. Well done.

Yellow Kid
Pulitzer n Hearst battle..leading to the term 'Yellow Journalism'
yellow kid which gave rise to YELLOW JOURNALISM;They are W.R.HEARST and J. PULITZER
The Yellow Kid emerged as the lead character in Hogan's Alley, drawn by Richard F. Outcault, which became one of the first Sunday supplement comic strips in an American newspaper
The two men fighting are Joseph Pulitzer of New York World and William Randolph Hearst of New York Journal.
The etymological connection is Yellow Journalism
Hogan's Alley's the Yellow Kid, which was fought over by Pulitzer and WR Hearst. The second image is the big type war of the yellow kids, over reporting the Cuban revolt. The falsification of stories to boost circulation by the papers owning Yellow Kid led to the phrase "Yellow Journalism"
R.F. Outcault's the Yellow Kid, and The Big Type War of the Yellow Kids between William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer who had a bidding war over the ownership of the comic strip; The Yellow Kid was also the first time Sunday comics sold newspapers, and was commercially merchandised from "soap to whiskey".
Yellow kid, Pulitzer, Hearst, and "yellow journalism"
Yellow kid --> Yellow kid journalism (Hearst vs Pulitzer) --> Yellow journalism
term = yellow journalism

The Yellow Kid cartoon by Richard Outcault. Outcault first worked for Joseph Pulitzer and then William Hearst who are depicted in the second image. Their journalism techniques coined the term "Yellow Journalism"
