This collection offers a critical and feminist media scholarship approach to the ongoing 21st-century true crime media boom.
Including contributions from a range of media scholars with diverse areas of expertise and interest, televising true crime features essays that analyze the intersections between and across streaming programs, traditional television, and podcasts, while also exploring the ethics and audiences of true crime, narrative and affect, and genre. Each section presents several essays addressing broad topics from divergent theoretical and methodological approaches but sharing an underlying critical feminist approach to media culture.
This multidisciplinary volume will interest students and researchers of media studies, cultural studies, television studies, journalism, critical feminism, true crime genre, documentary studies, platform studies, and gender studies.
