Through a critical, transdisciplinary approach, Journalism and
Crime offers a chronological interrogation of crime journalism from
its first origins in 16th century print, to a transatlantic
phenomenon in the 19th century, and through to the complex
networked digital spheres of the current day. This is the first
book to historicise the development of journalism and crime
together in relation to the people on both sides of the exchange.
Taking a 470-year historical sweep, it tracks the cultural,
political and social significance of crime journalism and its place
as the longest sustained genre of media. It emphasises how crime
journalism both reflects and drives shifts in media ownership, the
priorities of profit, use of new technologies and legal and
political governance. Written in an accessible style, this is
essential reading for courses that consider the development and
nature of journalism as well as supplementary reading for broader
courses within journalism, communication, media studies,
criminology, sociology and history.
