Beskrivning

Scooped! surveys the impact of tabloid journalism in America and reveals that crime news and reporting say much about a society fascinated by sleaze and violence. David Krajicek raises important questions about how and why certain crimes are reported, and the ways in which these representations are framing debates concerning crime policy and the criminal justice system. He challenges journalists--in the tabloid, television, and otherwise "respectable" news media--to fulfill their mission to inform, and not inflame, the public.

Recensioner i media

Krajicek does a fine job of weaving together his own experiences as a crime reporter, the history of the genre, and lots of examples to produce a convincing indictment of the news media. Dallas Morning News A crime reporter for the New York Daily News in the 1980s, Krajicek quit in disgust in 1990... His book inventories the damage done by sensationalistic, incident-driven coverage, not just on local TV newscasts and in tabloid newspapers but throughout the media. Los Angeles Times Book Review In this lively history of crime reporting, Krajicek charges that all the racy headlines have eclipsed a more crucial story. Entertainment Weekly
