Sex Trafficking, Scandal, and the Transformation of Journalism, 1885-1917
Publisher: University of Chicago Press, June 2013.
Binding: Trade Paperback
ISBN: 022602153X
In Sex Trafficking, Scandal, and the Transformation of Journalism, Gretchen Soderlund offers a new way to understand sensationalism in both newspapers and reform movements. By tracing the history of high-profile print exposés on sex trafficking by journalists like William T. Stead and George Kibbe Turner, Soderlund demonstrates how controversies over gender, race, and sexuality were central to the shift from sensationalism to objectivity--and crucial to the development of journalism in the early twentieth century.
