In a newspaper when there is an overemphasis on soft news writing, some of the editors refer to it as :

  • A.Yellow Journalism
  • B.Jell-O Journalism
  • C.Feature Journalism
  • D.Armchair Journalism

Answer: B

Some editors call it Jell-O journalism.

The term, used in American newsrooms and textbooks, describes newspapers that load their pages with soft news, light features, lifestyle and celebrity items instead of hard news and public affairs, making the paper as soft and insubstantial as the gelatin dessert.

Yellow journalism means sensational, exaggerated reporting, feature journalism is the legitimate writing of features, and armchair journalism means reporting done from the desk without going into the field, so none of them names the overemphasis on soft news.
