(ADVOCACY JOURNALISM)

The headline, "𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐎𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐁𝐄𝐑, 𝐉𝐄𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐇 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐒 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐖𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌𝐒," falls under advocacy journalism because it promotes a specific initiative that aligns with a broader movement—creating more pet-friendly commercial spaces. Rather than simply reporting on a business update, it highlights a positive change that encourages inclusivity for pet owners. By framing the news as a welcoming and progressive move, it subtly advocates for similar policies in other businesses. This approach blends information with a call for social change, making it a clear example of advocacy journalism.

TOM RODRIGUEZ HAPPILY REVEALS HE'S NOW A FATHER
(YELLOW JOURNALISM)

The article "Tom Rodriguez happily reveals he's now a father" is a type of yellow journalism because it focuses more on entertainment and emotions rather than serious, well-researched news. It sensationalizes Tom Rodriguez’s personal life by using dramatic language to make the story more exciting, rather than providing in-depth or factual analysis. Phrases like ""He's my source of inspiration, and he makes me so happy. I've never experienced happiness at this level." are designed to grab attention and spark curiosity rather than inform the public about an important issue. Additionally, the inclusion of a cartoon baby image adds a playful and exaggerated effect, making the story more eye-catching and engaging rather than informative. Yellow journalism often relies on emotional appeal, eye-catching headlines, and dramatic storytelling, all of which are present in this article. Since the main purpose of the article is to entertain rather than deliver serious news, it falls under yellow journalism.
