Abstract

This article analyzes news coverage of mass murders in and Newsweek for the period 1984-91 for evidence of disproportionate, perhaps politically motivated coverage of certain categories of mass murder. After discussing ethical problems related to news and entertainment attention to mass murder, the article suggests methods of enhancing the public’s understanding of the nature of murder.
