When personal desire goes beyond moral boundaries in the lives of
public figures, a media scandal may not be far behind. But media
today can make anyone with the right story a subject for scandal.
The media routinely invades privacy in search of a scandal, turning
secrets into narratives that ignite widespread attention. The media
scandal has become a cornerstone of contemporary journalism, and a
controversial trend in media performance overall.
This is the first volume to evaluate scandal as a mass-mediated,
globalized phenomenon. Top scholars examine how institutions and
personalities ranging from politics, religion and big business to
TV talkshows, sports, and popular music, become converted into
scandalous commodities that drive tabloids, trash TV and
"respectable" media too. By exploring how scandals fuel mass media
and popular culture, this timely book will stimulate much
discussion about this fascinating subject.
This will be essential reading for students and scholars in media
studies, cultural studies, journalism/mass communication,
communication studies and sociology.
