| Summary: | Social media in the courtroom, the stigmatization of mental illness, the influence of police media units, the practice of knocking on victims' doors and the culture of masculinity in the newsroom are among the topics of discussion, explored from various disciplinary perspectives and combined with poignant interviews and thought-provoking introspection from seasoned journalists such as Christie Blatchford, Timothy Appleby, Linden MacIntyre, Kim Bolan, and Peter Edwards. A critical account of the challenges involved in crime reporting in ethical, informed and powerful ways, Covering Canadian Crime poses the questions that reporters, journalism students and the public at large need to ask and to answer. |
