Trial by Internet / by Hurt, Avery Elizabeth,editor.(CARDINAL)415814;
The relative anonymity of the Internet allows us to assert our knowledge like a professor, show off our seemingly perfect lives, and judge like we're presiding over a court of law. The problem with this relatively new phenomenon is that we often make snap judgments about other people's actions or statements without knowing all of the facts, and without giving others the benefit of the doubt. This volume dives deep into the realities of the Internet age: Do we become different people when we're on the Internet? What responsibility do we have in our treatment of others in this new society? Is it our place to be virtual judge and jury?Grade 9 to 12.Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Trial by facebook : a dangerous trend / Craig Charles Haley -- Trial by social media is the new form of people's court / Araceli Cruz -- Internet lynch mobs go after accused woman?and her defenders / Douglas Preston -- The media's court of public opinion finds casey anthony guilty as charged / Keith Long -- Improper internet use by jurors can be contempt of court / Dominic Greive -- Witch hunts and the presumption of innocence : The Web site Crime Talk -- Online, you are guilty even after being proven innocent / Sarah Downey -- As a form of trial by internet, cyberbullying can do serious harm / Hailey Ellis -- Cyberbullying is worse than bullying / Gideon Lasco -- Six disturbing cyberbullying cases that turned into suicide stories / Anonymous -- Official punishment lasts a few years : unofficially it may never end / Alison McCook -- Online complaint sites can ruin people's lives / CiviliNation -- Online vigilantism may increase wrongful convictions / Simon Chandler -- Social media is ruining politics / Nicholas Carr -- Fake election news stories outperformed real news on facebook / Craig Silverman -- Americans have been worried about internet?s influence on politics for several years / Aaron Smith -- Fake news and false rumors can sway an election / Yochi Dreazen -- You may be living in an information echo chamber / Jayson DeMers -- Organizations to contact -- Bibliography -- Index.

Throw me to the wolves / by McGuinness, Patrick,author.(CARDINAL)419584;
In the aftermath of Brexit, the body of a young woman is found by the river Thames, and the tabloids are aflame, accusing Mr. Wolphram, the woman's former teacher and the ultimate media quarry: mysterious, friendless, and eccentric. Charged with investigating this crime is Ander, once a student of Mr. Wolphram's. As he interviews pupils who both defend and defame their oddball teacher, he must face a story from decades back that he has tried hard to forget. Ander recalls his best friend Danny, who disappeared from their elite English boarding school--a place of routine physical and psychological abuse--at the peak of IRA terror. In the midst of the present murder investigation, racked by suppressed memories, he also discovers something vital about Mr. Wolphram's true character. Faced with Wolphram's case, Ander must turn to his own memory, which proves the ultimate source of both mystery and revelation.

Savage portrayals : race, media, and the Central Park jogger story / by Byfield, Natalie P.,1960-author.(CARDINAL)802282;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 215-226) and index.Reconnecting new forms of inequality to their roots -- A jogger is raped in Central Park -- The position of the black man in the cult of (white) womanhood -- Salvaging the "savage": a racial frame that refuses to die -- A participant observes how contentemerges -- The "facts" emerge to convict the innocent -- The case falls apart: media's brief mea culpa -- Selling savage portrayals: incorporating young black males in the carceral state -- They didn't do it!In 1989, the rape and beating of a white female jogger in Central Park made international headlines. Many accounts reported the incident as an example of ٢wilding٣-episodes of poor, minority youths roaming the streets looking for trouble. Police intent on immediate justice for the victim coerced five African-American and Latino boys to plead guilty. The teenage boys were quickly convicted and imprisoned. Natalie Byfield, who covered the case for the New York Daily News, now revisits the story of the Central Park Five from her perspective as a black female reporter in Savage Portrayals. Byfield illuminates the race, class, and gender bias in the massive media coverage of the crime and the prosecution of the now-exonerated defendants. Her sociological analysis and first-person account persuasively argue that the racialized reportage of the case buttressed efforts to try juveniles as adults across the nation. Savage Portrayals casts new light on this famous crime and its far-reaching consequences for the wrongly accused and the justice system.
