Media Witch Hunts: A Comparative Thematic Analysis Of The Portrayal Of The Meredith Kercher Murder Suspects In The Daily Mail’s Coverage



Authors : Dakhane Bochra . Saihi Hanane .

Abstract

This paper analyses and compares the themes related to the portrayal of the four suspects in the Meredith Kercher murder case during the first month of the arrest in The Daily Mail news headlines. The depiction exhibits a gender bias in the portrayal, emphasizing the sole female suspect while neglecting the male suspects. Notably, themes related to the female suspect were depicted negatively; in contrast, the portrayal of the male suspects featured positive themes that blame-shift guilt.
