Böcker av Paul Thaler

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.

According to Thaler, the presence of cameras in the courtroom is a pervasive technology that can affect public perceptions of the judicial process, change the behavior and attitudes of trial participants, and ultimately transform the sober process of justice into a media event designed for maximum public exposure.
