The TRUTH about True Crime and Crime News.
What are YOUR ethical responsibilities?
How did crime news and true crime develop? How did that change with social media? And what are your ethical responsibilities when engaging with – and perhaps fuelling – crime media? From witches and highwaymen to murderers and riotous mobs, discover the untold history of how audiences shaped crime media and explore some of the barbarous consequences.
