The Scoop on Sensational Stories
From: The Trauma Beat
$1.20
In this chapter, Cherry discusses the sensationalizing of "uncommon stories", how the boundary-less reporting of these a-typical events traumatically impacts the surviving family members and loved ones of the victims. Cherry employs Alan White’s murder, and the survey answers of his wife Jan as a case study; examining how the invasive and sensationalized media coverage eliminated her privacy and forced her to move across the country.
