News Truth And Crime by John McMullan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

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. | News Truth And Crime by John McMullan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
