Logistic regression of perceptions about Simpson's innocence or guilt on race, gender, education, family income, interviewer race, and perceptions of criminal justice system bias. 330 $aAbundant popular discourses surround the O. J. Simpson double murder case. By contrast, Darnell M. Hunt scrutinizes these very discourses in order to further our understanding of the interests underlying them. Exploring the relationships between O. J.'s trial, the social location of television viewers (their race, gender and class) and everyday consciousness of social issues, his textual and audience analyses consider the incredible allure of the trial as 'media event'. Looking beyond the obvious explanations of celebrity, scandal and voyeurism, Dr Hunt asks: why was America so obsessed by this case? Why were so many people interested in particular outcomes? and what are we to make of the apparent racial divide in attitudes about the case, as shown in the opinion polls? O. J. Simpson Facts and Fictions incorporates insights from sociology and cultural studies to examine the implications for race relations in the United States at the dawn of the new millennium. 517 3 $aOJ facts and fictions 606 $aTelevision broadcasting of news$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPublic opinion$zUnited States 606 $aTelevision viewers$zUnited States$xAttitudes 606 $aMass media and race relations 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting of news$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aTelevision viewers$xAttitudes. 615 0$aMass media and race relations. 676 $a302.23/0973 700 $aHunt$b Darnell M$0276297 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817447103321 996 $aO.J.
