Victimized On Plain Sites

Abstract

This study employs a content analysis of the Steubenville (Ohio) sexual assault case to explore the mainstream media characterization of the victim and perpetrators. Researchers examined articles from local news organizations (N = 422) and national news organizations (N = 156) to answer the overall research question centering on how new technologies are being employed as sources by traditional media sources. The results outline implications for scholars and practitioners as it relates to how the use of social media sources can shape the narrative of the victim and perpetrators.
