Sensationlism in the media is, in my opinion, a poetically-driven attitude that allows politicians and the owners of the mass media to debate the importance of real issues to easy, manipulable news. Sensationalism is accompanied of big pictures and little explanations, effectism and much postproduction.

All around the world, the main target of sensationalism are the lowest classes - and sensationalism has all over the world almost the same format.

Just like in Rome: Pane et Circenses.

• Media channels may resort to sensationalism to try and boost viewership.
• Representations of  realities will often be sensational
• Exponential growth in recent years is heartening, making it a magnet for young talent, lack of proper training and supervision and an awareness of the social responsibility lead sensationalism

In general, exaggerating in telling stories in a way to excite public at the expense of accuracy is not in the interest of public. Media sensationalism may lose the real problems because of that exaggerating.

But, sensationalism in the media is not always a bad thing.There are times where a story may be important to the general public but the topic is otherwise boring.

I am sorry, these days I cant trust media at all. We don't know who is telling the truth. bias and bias for parties and or for favorite politicians.

Dear @Jesus, sensationalism sell the tabloids! "In political and media climate dominated by tabloid approach and sensationalism, with political and economic pressure on media outlets and threats to journalists, these efforts require strong support and recognition that will allow for further development of independent journalism in Serbia. The free development of independent, professional media and the media system is to ensure the widest satisfaction of the needs of Serbia’s citizens for information and content from all walks of life without discrimination: politics, economy, culture, art, education, environmental protection, sports and entertainment."
