Und mit Crime Fiction hat selbstverständlich auch die Kriminalitätsberichterstattung der Tabloid-Press zu tun:

V. Penelope Pelizzon and Nancy M. West, eds.: Tabloid, Inc.: Crimes, Newspapers, Narratives. Columbus: Ohio State UP 2010.

Verlagsanzeige: “Tabloid, Inc. provides the first extended study of the rich exchange between New York’s tabloid press and other narrative frames, including Hollywood crime film, museum exhibits, and hard-boiled fiction. Armed with hard-to-find early issues of the New York Daily News, the New York Daily Mirror, and the Evening Graphic, V. Penelope Pelizzon and Nancy M. West trace crime stories from the late 1920s through the 1940s across often-contentious borders between different narrative sites”.
