Sensationalism
Sensationalism refers to the practice of emphasizing shocking or dramatic events to attract attention and provoke strong emotional reactions, often at the expense of accuracy or depth. This technique is commonly used in media, journalism, and entertainment to boost engagement, but it can lead to misinformation and a distorted understanding of important issues. Sensationalism prioritizes entertainment value over factual reporting, which can mislead audiences and shape public perception in misleading ways.
