Several studies [all cited in Richard F. Hamilton,
President McKinley, War and Empire
(New Brunswick: Transaction Publishers, 2006)] purport to show that regional newspapers were more cautious and deliberate than the Hearst and Pulitzer dailies in response to the Cuban story. But the flows of opinion they find in the regional press are often consistent with the actual contents of the yellow press.
