Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the evolution of crime news reporting in the UK, this ethnographic study examines significant changes over the past 40 years, particularly post-Leveson Report and the strained relationship between the Metropolitan Police and mainstream media. It highlights the role of new investigative journalism non-profits in fostering better reporting practices with marginalized communities. However, the police still maintain tight control over the dissemination of policing news, limiting the media's capacity to challenge authority effectively.
