[Commlist] New issue of Comunicação e Sociedade on “Crime, Justice and Media”

New Comunicação e Sociedade on “Crime, Justice and Media”

The new volume of the journal Comunicação e Sociedade on “Crime, Justice 
and Media: Debating (Mis) representations and renewed challenges”, 
edited by Rafaela Granja, Sílvia Gomes and Thaís Sardá., has just been 
launched.

Understanding the ever-complex relationship between the media, society 
and crime requires exploring several fluid discussions that connect 
these domains. How does the media affect the way people think about 
social issues such as criminality and justice? What is the impact of 
media coverage of crime on how society responds to it? Do the media have 
a central role in forming public opinion, does public opinion influence 
what media report, and/or are there multiple and complex influences 
within this spectrum? What are the challenges imposed by the several 
forms of media in the scope of mass communication regarding crime and 
violence? These and other queries are persistent among media scholars 
researching this field of study. However, studies have shown no 
clear-cut answers to these questions as they show complex intersections 
between them and might change significantly according to geopolitical 
issues, affected social groups and types of media involved.
