Thu Nov 17 10:23:37 GMT 2011





Media & Crime – Fiction and Journalism
Northern Lights, volume 9, Intellect journals 2011

Volume editors: Gunhild Agger and Anne Marit Waade; Journal editor: Stig Hjarvard

Crime is the central theme of a vast array of fiction in books, films, TV series, computer games and web-based interactivity. Crime is also one of the most popular subjects of journalism, mediated in newspapers and their websites, electronic media and on the web, where websites dedicated to the mediation of crime are abundant.

This represents a challenge for interdisciplinary research. The aim of the articles in the 2011 issue of Northern Lights is to highlight questions relating to the latest developments in the highly complex relationship between media and crime, fiction and journalism, by drawing on experiences and cases from different contexts. The articles represent a growing interdisciplinary and international academic interest in crime fiction, crime journalism and crime series productions in relation to global market conditions. The articles encompass cross-disciplinary perspectives that traverse histories and cultures, media and media practices.
