Description

Arguing that the US has entered an era in which the mass media tend to focus on the "sensationalistic, personal, lurid, and tawdry details" of high-profile trials and investigations, the authors (political science, Union College and Purdue U., respectively) illustrate that the way in which legal information is presented by the mass media distorts the public's view of reality.
