Description for The Spectacle: Media and the Making of the O.J. Simpson Story
Paperback. This critical expose of American media presents the O.J. Simpson story. It is a story of exploitation, media overkill and outright pandering, of huge profitmaking, all of which arguably undermined the trial and fuelled tremendous public cynicism about the way in which justice and the media work. Num Pages: 344 pages, index. BIC Classification: 1KBB; JFD; KNTJ; LNF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 26. Weight in Grams: 522.
