The Bunker – News without the nonsense

Making a killing: How true crime monetised murder


Listen Later

True crime has never been more popular. Is it uniquely harmful to society, or have we always been fascinated with the macabre? And why does there suddenly seem to be a boom in internet sleuths? Exploring the increasingly blurred lines between those seeking justice and those making internet content, Jude Rogers talks to Tanya Horeck, Professor of Film and Feminist Media Studies and author of Justice on Demand: True Crime in the Digital Streaming Era about how true crime in the digital age has transformed society. 


  • “True crime can be a way to process a lot of the traumatic things in society.”
  • “True crime feeds into the idea that we are all internet sleuths.”
  • “ True crime has created a cultural space for a political discussion about violence against women.”
