The media has played a major role in leading the United States to join Cuba. Two publishing houses, William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, stand out among these opportunists. They believe that the conflict with Spain is an opportunity to increase circulation of newspapers. Hearst and Pulitzer grabbed the opportunity to print a sensational story in Spain making full use of the growing spirit of American patriotism. A graphic illustration commissioned by some of the most talented artists and stories in the country, written at that time by premier writers and journalists, was the driving force behind the flames of war. Hurst and Pulitzer jointly reported Spanish atrocities against Cuban rebels that caused fanatics among Americans.

When the US battleship main blew up in the port of Havana, Hurst blamed Spanish, although he did not claim war as soon as proving their responsibility.

The historians opposed the influence Hurst and his newspaper had on the war of Spanish-American, but Swanberg claimed that without Hurst's efforts "war does not happen."

In the late 1890s, journalists Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst used yellow news, anti-Spanish propaganda to stimulate American public opinion and encourage war. However, the papers by Hearst and Pulitzer were circulated among the working classes in New York and were not reported to the public audience. Following the mysterious sinking of the US Navy's battleship main at the port of Havana, due to the political pressure of the Democratic Party, President William McKinley's regime was forced into a war trying to be avoided. Spain has repeatedly promised that it will reform, but it has never been realized. The US issued a final announcement to Spain and urged the abandonment of Cuba's rule. The first Madrid, and then Washington, has officially declared war
