Exploitative journalism is a form of media that aims to sensationalize stories, often at the expense of the people or issues being covered. Some synonyms for exploitative journalism include yellow journalism, sensationalism, tabloid journalism, scandalous reporting, and clickbait journalism. These types of journalism often prioritize clicks and views over accuracy and ethics, leading to the spread of misleading or false information. Exploitative journalism can be harmful to not only the individuals or topics being covered, but also to the public's trust in the media. It is important for journalists to prioritize responsible and ethical reporting, focusing on truthful and impactful storytelling rather than sensationalized headlines.
