News, Truth, and Crime: The Westray Disaster and Its Aftermath

by
No Customer Reviews
Evaluating the Westray mine disaster--a 1992 explosion in a Nova Scotia mine that killed 26 men--this case study explores how news can be distorted and misrepresented in mainstream media. Through a thorough recounting of the tragedy and its media coverage, the author dissects the relationship between power, perspective, and the Production of truth. References to the media s favoritism towards the Canadian government and the mine company, bring questions of journalistic integrity and degrees of truth within the media into sharp relief.
