Description:‘Insightful, sensitively written and compelling.’ Libby Lester, Head of Journalism, Media and Communications, University of Tasmania‘An unflinching dissection of the relationships between journalists and their subjects – a compelling exposé of journalistic culture.’ John Dale, author of HucksteppSonya Voumard's The Media and the Massacre is a chilling portrayal of journalism, betrayal, and storytelling surrounding the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. Inspired, in part, by renowned American author Janet Malcolm’s famously controversial work The Journalist and the Murderer, Voumard’s elegant new work of literary non-fiction examines the fascinating theme of ‘the writer’s treachery'.

Carleen received an undisclosed legal settlement, over the best-selling book’s use of her personal manuscript.In the lead-up to the 20th anniversary of the Port Arthur massacre, The Media and the Massacre explores the nature of journalistic intent and many of the wider moral and social issues of the storytelling surrounding the events and their place in our cultural memory.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
