description: "James Creelman was a Canadian-American writer famous for securing a 1908 interview for Pearson's Magazine with Mexican president Porfirio Díaz, in which the strongman said that he would not run for the presidency in the 1910 elections. The interview set off a frenzy of political activity in Mexico over the presidential elections and succession of power. In the words of historian Howard F. Cline, the \"Creelman Interview marks a major turning point in the genesis of the Mexican Revolution.\" Creelman is often cited as a central reporter during the height of yellow journalism."
