Who were the first sensationalized media personalities?

The first sensational personalities that appeared in the media were suicidal. Newspapers that became very popular in the mid-1880s, such as the New York Sun or the New York Herald, collected for the first time in their pages stories of ordinary people instead of major events with famous people from the political, scientific or artistic fields. Suicides were the characters that for the first time and in most cases began to occupy space in these newspapers.
