This article aims to describe the yellow journalism phenomenon in Spain during recent years. We hypothesize that such sensationalism is instaled within the so called ‘gossip press’. We made a brief one, although exhaustive relation of the meaning of the yellow media or vein sensationalist in its American origins, whose objective era and is to sell newspaper, as well as timid and little the excellent attempts of this form of journalism in Spain. Its development, harnessed by the television, comes dice by the proliferation from programs to the use in the channels deprived public and, as well as the increase of the circulation of magazines of the heart, as much the traditional ones as Hello to most recent because You say to me, among others. We assert that the practice of this peculiar way of information very often goes beyond the limits of the citizen’s rights to be truthfully informed, to the expression of freedom, both of information authors as the audiences. In the same way, we face such a journalistic exercise in front of its own structure, that is close to the fiction metastory in which TV serials are based, here adopting the shape of a no-fiction discourse.
